Some mornings I am in the groove, this has been a good one! I love spending my time painting, never thought I would be able to do this full time. Very grateful things have gone the way they have.
Do you do what you LOVE?

Studio Lifestyle
This photo was taken 5 weeks ago, much warmer days. Now I am wearing layers and a stocking cap in the studio. Acrylic paint dries much more slowly with these temperatures which is a benefit of the season!
Bad day in the studio…
Things go wrong, it happens all the time. I had just varnished this painting over the weekend. It was going to a gallery I work with in Florida… now it will be sanded down. Sometimes I hurry when I should take my time. It’s a bummer but I will paint something better…creation is medicine.
If only I had tossed soup on the painting, I could have saved the world.
Travelers Time
A new painting in my studio today. Freshly signed and varnished! I will frame it soon and then decide which gallery to send it to.
Home Water
Bringing it back home today with a new painting in the studio. Inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. I always think of this as my home water. It has been for more than 6 years now.
By Fire – RiverSea Gallery
This painting was part of my solo exhibit back in 2019. I am currently working hard to complete a collection of paintings for my next show at RiverSea Gallery opening June 11th!
White Caps
WIP in the studio today. Hard winds kicking up on the lake today, making for a timely painting.
Beyond Forever (reels)
This video shows some of the finalizing that goes into an already finished painting! I have since shipped this one to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. It was a commission arranged through the gallery.
Homeward (final)
Final studio capture of this winter scene. Inspired by my short walk to the art studio. Winter has been lovely but I am looking forward to a change in the season.
Rise and Fall 🔴
This large seascape was sold through the Grand Bohemian Gallery in Saint Augustine, Florida. Today I will be carefully packing and shipping this painting to its new home!
