NEW Prints Available

  new prints available visit my print shop As originals sell, I add them to my print on demand shop (ahem, well over 500 images available). My vendor will create a print to your specifications and ship it directly to you. It doesn’t get any more streamlined than this! And this has been a busy few weeks - I’ve just added 8 new images to my print shop - thank you to those giving these pieces homes and the galleries and collectors who were involved in that.   If you are waiting for a certain original to be available in print form,   shoot me a message   and I can give you a heads up when the stars align. And if you are weighing the difference between a print and an original, know that I offer payment plans to make the latter happen. While prints are a fabulous and very affordable option, nothing equals the way light falls upon an original. Message me the title of the piece you are considering and let’s put together a payment plan - a 30% non refundable deposit will hold it, with a year to

Just  reach out . You know when you have an ambitious project, something huge, that you have been relentlessly working towards in the face of so much resistance? and you get to that middle part where you are starting to feel so incredibly drained from all the work you have done? you know you aren’t quite there yet, things feel a bit uncertain, maybe even precarious, you want to take a pause but are afraid that won’t serve the desired goal.

Summer 2024

  summer 2024 visit my website pic above: A friendship that spans 35 years (whaaat???), stretching from the banks of the Red Cedar (Michigan State University) to sunset beach picnics in Mailibu (California) to 12,005 feet above sea level. Thank you Amy and Troy (behind the camera) for our proper introduction to The Rocky Mountains. Summer is officially over, which makes me a bit sad, as I love spending the warm days outside and taking long walks with the dogs. But I am also feeling conflicted, because autumn ushers in a season of reflection and restoration and lots of family celebrations. Here’s a peek at what I’ve been doing the last 14 weeks: hung an exhibition with The Thursday Brushes (my critique group) at   Starkweather Arts Center . I exhibited my mixed media monoprints and drawings amongst a body of work we all contributed to via critiques and conversations during the last year. took an amazing family vacation to Puerto Rico, where we hiked the rainforest up into the cloud fore

Head in the Clouds

  Head in the Clouds view her on my website Head in the Clouds, original acrylic on panel, 14”x18”, $775 plus s&h. Note that Head in the Clouds will not ship until early October 2024. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . A few weeks back I had the pleasure of plein air painting at a horse farm. Rolling pastures, tree lined fence rows, riding arenas and sprawling barns. And then there were the tenants!! I set up outside a smaller barn set against an emerald pasture lined with ancient trees. I got to work on a painting featuring the breezeway of the barn, open at both ends, and the surrounding green. But I quickly learned that my muse had other ideas - she wanted to paint those trees, not the barn. So I gave in - it’s not worth fighting over these sorts of things, and I’m challenged enough working plein air. If trees were where my mind wandered, that’s what I was going to paint! I finished that little piece and still had some

Just  reach out . I mentioned before that I think of the energy spilling outward from  my foxes  as prayer. With Zephyr, that energy is expanded with a flurry of daisies. I almost titled this one “She loves me…” after the childhood game which involved peeling petals off a bloom while reciting “she loves me, she loves me not,” until the final remaining petal determined everything. You can view - or purchase - Zephyr  o n my website . Please note that she is a special guest at the in person workshop I’m teaching in September, so cannot be shipped until October 2024.  Let me know  if you would like a payment plan (30% non refundable deposit with the balance plus shipping paid in full inside 12 months time).

Enlightened

  Enlightened view her on my website Enlightened, original acrylic on panel, 30”x24”, $1300 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . These slivers of energy spilling outward from the core of  the last couple foxes  - I’m painting what it looks like to pray or send love (or whatever you call it) out into the world. The complexity of all the feels and possibilities inside each of us, spinning and orbiting like planets and stars hurtling through space, I find mesmerizing. We have our own interior constellations and the veil between us and the world is thinner than it appears.

Promise

  Promise view her on my website Promise, original acrylic on panel, 30”x24”, private collection (thank you!). I always welcome inquiries - please do  reach out . I thought quite a bit about parenting as I painted this bear cub. Each new life holds promise for something a parent literally cannot see - we feel that promise and also hold sacred own dreams for the child. Ultimately, though, the child learns who they are and discovers their purpose as they grow up. It’s our job to support them through their journey. I was thinking of this along with all of the promises we make to ourselves while raising kids or nurturing others. Those promises that push us to be more human, more vulnerable, more supportive of what we all are growing into. You can view Promise  on my website   - she is packed with nuance and details which you can view up close over there.  I was so pleased that she found a home with a returning collector while still on my easel. I am blessed to have such enthusiastic fans o
