Welcome to my fine art studio! Every piece I create has a story as well as surprising materials and textures to discover. I work with oil paint and mixed media like ash, cold wax, custom-designed paper, fabric, resin, and more. I strive to breathe life into fleeting instances of natural wonder, capturing them on canvas and bringing them alive with fresh textures. By immersing myself and the viewer in the breathtaking beauty that surrounds us, I seek to convey a message of profound awe. Art should be accessible, so I offer a range of options and price points from original paintings and museum-quality giclee prints to framed prints and notecards. I also am available for commissioned work, artist talks, and studio tours. Send me a message to learn more!
