I worked with an architect to design my studio. I am now 7 years in on this dream. I’m always seeing things I want to change. The truth is I am super fortunate to have such a great creative space. A place to focus my skills and imagination. Restless as my spirit is, I would still hate to walk away. Time doesn’t stop and work continues until it doesn’t.

Things to Come
I just finished up my newest painting, “Things to Come”. It is a vibrant and meditative piece, it will probably be heading to a gallery in Florida. I still have to sign, varnish and frame the painting and of course package and ship so there is still work. Check out the silly IG reel to see it in motion in my studio!
Home Water (SOLD)
I was pleased to learn that this misty seascape was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Breaking
Winter has come roaring back to North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille is freezing and snow is piling up. I was shifting away from my winter paintings, but here is a new one! I do love the dramatic lighting when the sunlight is breaking through the trees in the winter months.
Between an Infinite Darkness
This is a painting I did just about two years ago. Not sure if it is the weather or the terrible news cycle that made me remember this one. This painting was part of my sold out solo show at Momentum Gallery.
Two for Sandpoint
I was pleased to sell these new paintings to a local collector. Apparently social media is still working! She stumbled across my Facebook site a month ago and decided she needed some of my art. It was nice avoiding the shipping charges!
Life’s Shine
A meditative little waterscape painting on a dark Friday morning. I am still painting these 12”x16” boards… I will have to switch it up a bit. Enjoy the weekend.
Mountain Blue
The beauty of the lake is a constant source of inspiration. Magical lighting and moments that disappear far too quickly.
Reflections
I am continuing my collection of smaller 12”x16” acrylic paintings. I have prepared a lot of boards this size and want to use them all before I move onto larger work. Seeking inspiration from my own work to pursue some larger pieces, that is my plan. My part of the world is my ultimate muse, the use of paint a close rival.
Chill of Time
I am continuing to capture the feelings of February. The daylight is stretching and our winter snow is receding. I know winter has not finished with us.
