Paintings With Soul

One, a vacation with my brother and sister in law (it will be the first of many). Two, visiting Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo’s home (it was sacred ground). And three, exploring ancient ruins in Tulum, Mexico (where I saw one of the temples of Ixchel, the Moon-Rabbit-Goddess). An unexpected treat was discovering the Mesoamerican Coral Reef, second in size to the Great Barrier Reef. I carry crystals and little stones in my pockets, so to walk the beach and see all these little shells, bits of coral, tidal pools filled with tiny fish, algae covered stones ...

check her out, make her yours 24x36, acrylic on gallery wrapped panel with 1” profile, sides painted so no need to frame, $3000 to the first asking nicely. This includes s&h inside the contiguous US. Hawaiian, Alaskan and Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Revolution can ship as early as April 2026. In the book   Art as Therapy , Alain de Botton and John Armstrong propose that what we are stimulated by in art is a reflection of what we are lacking or longing for. So if I am making art filled with landscapes and skies alongside ethereal animals that see me but don’t require anything from me, what might that mean? I may be wishing for a protector. Nothing is more omnipotent than   a mother bear blocking the sun (or moon) . Or a savior -   a silvery mare pregnant with prayer . Or stillness as I sit beside   a marigold filled fox in the garden . If you wish for any of these things, too, you’re in luck. The art continues to show up. Available work is list...

check her out, make her yours 16x20, acrylic on panel, $1150 to the first asking nicely. This price includes s&h inside the contiguous US. Hawaiian, Alaskan and Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Fire Agate can ship at the end of March 2026. I am continuing to work with Fire Horse as muse. I have seen plenty of imagery from others of horses running against flame backgrounds - however, I’m seeking a design that feels a little more unexpected and mysterious, totally in keeping with my Must Haves (a list of qualities I am drawn to in art). Like this lovely, carrying snippets of night sky filled with whorls of agate bearing eyes of glowing embers. Agate is a powerful grounding stone. The perfect accompaniment to Horse, the balancer of inner emotion and conscious actions. Throw in the transformation of a Fire Year and the energy rolls off this one in waves. The link above will take you to my website for a secure transaction, along with viewing in a room or right up close. P...

Hawaiian, Alaskan and Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Votive can ship at the end of March 2026. So it’s the Year of the Fire Horse, a time of intense, transformative energy. Perhaps I am particularly attuned, being born a Fire Horse. Regardless, I am reveling in the various ways to embrace what this year may reveal for me and my art (I find it serendipitous that this is also my 25th year in business - a milestone celebrating durability and strength - colliding with a calendar year of passion, independence and risk taking). This new painting Votive is the embodiment of lighting a candle to mark something of deep significance. Perhaps it is a celebration. The beginning of a ritual. In memory of a loved one. Instigation of change. This painting is my prayer for the world, but also it is an open prayer for the viewer. For whatever th...

Once Upon a Time can ship at the end of March 2026. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just need to escape the real world. Often it’s via a book (I’m always game   to hear what you have read   and enjoyed!), but more often than not lately it’s in the studio. It’s here where I have a table set up for play (crayons, a ream of paper, and whatever other art supplies feel like fun for that day), a comfy chair with a stack of notebooks handy for reflection, and my easel. With Spring waltzing in escorted by her dear friend High Holy Rabbit, following on the tails of the recent eclipse, it wasn’t a stretch to weave an escapist composi...

check her out on my website 16”x20”, acrylic on panel, private collection (thank you so much and congratulations to my newest collector). Inferno was purchased by a member of my First Dibs club - this is a private newsletter that grants preferential purchasing power to serious collectors, giving them about a 24 hour heads up prior to the general public. You can   join (it’s free) here   - scroll down and fill out the second form. So   Atmosphere   got me thinking about trying another horse, this time with a dramatic arrangement of values. I had an in process panel that seemed perfectly suited for the challenge. That panel became Inferno. The same day I signed this one, Facebook memories reminded me that I   started her   exactly one year prior. When I set out I had no idea where she would land - I never do with any of my paintings - nor did I have any idea that the piece’s creation would span the duration of a year. It’s through a sequence of little questio...
