  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 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

Feel free to  reach out  and share some love. After a summer of big deadlines, short work weeks, and feeling as though I would never be caught up, there was a recent almost seismic shift. The paint has been flowing, my muse is ecstatic, and I can feel ideas starting to coalesce in new ways. And, the progress at the easel has not overshadowed other business related tasks. Is it possible I have found the secret to balance, at least for this moment? If so, I’ll take it. Obsessed with contour drawing, I’m exploring the varied ways line can show up in a painting, and coming up with some exciting techniques. With Lapis, I particularly enjoyed traveling along the spectrum from representational to arbitrary lines, using a variety of tools and approaches.  Lapis has spawned two other pieces, a baby bear I’ve been sharing over

  Manifest view her on my website Manifest, original acrylic on panel, 30”x24”, $1300 plus s&h. I always welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Feel free to  reach out  and share some love. What if I applied the bird and flower concept I’ve been smitten with the last couple weeks to a fox? That’s what I was curious about when I started this one.  I began by painting a cloud filled sky, then drew in a fox in profile, intending to crown her with a glorious purple dahlia. But she had other plans. She enticed me with that dancing edge inside her body on the left, and once I indulged that, the idea of a flower dissolved.  As an intuitive painter, I don’t allow myself to force anything into a piece. I’ve learned that when I do, the painting suffers - it loses some of it’s spirit and magic. So while I start with an idea, that’s just the launching point. I let that bit go when the painting shows me something else I couldn’t have dreamt up if I tried. So that i
