Heliocentric is named for Copernicus’ cosmological theory, as this Bear believes herself to be the center of the universe. My initial concept was a   girl-with-pearl-earring   sort of Bear, filled with flowers. I added sunflowers, and they were super fun but also very demanding - their faces competed with Bear. She asked for the petals to become little licks of flame, and things grew from there. Heliocentric was   worked with permission**   from a photo taken by wildlife photographer Allie Swafford. Thank you, Allie, for allowing me to paint Felicia’s coquettish gaze (Grizzly Bear 863 from Yellowstone). Allie offers prints of her am...

check her out, make her yours 12x12, acrylic on panel, private collection (thank you so much).   I don’t often take on commissions, but this one ticked all the boxes for me. Also, I told my collectors that I was approaching their concept of Fox in the woodland like a gentle suggestion as opposed to a static list of bullet points that, for me, can stifle the joy of the painting process. After over a decade of nearly daily pet portraiture, I got a burned out on painting for others and guess I still am a bit tender. Nevertheless, Service Berry showed up as Fox Kit, initially dancing in a wreath of oak leaves collected from the back yard, before settling into her painted space. I made a reel of her progression and shared it to   my instagram . Available work is always listed on my website - I have   acrylic paintings , oil paintings ( animal centric   and   sky and floral ) and   smaller works on paper. I am so grateful for your interest in my art. Thank you so...

What is in Harbinger’s eyes? what do you suppose she is ushering in? is this related to her mission in life? what might she have to say about it all? and does she have a favorite flavor of Girl Scout cookies?

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 ...

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...
