Earth and Moon

  Earth and Moon view her on my website Earth and Moon, original acrylic on flat panel, 24ā€x36ā€, private collection (thank you).   It seems fitting to close 2024 out with a painting that is about vastness. In a year that challenged me as a voracious creative and an often bumbling human, for my muse to then deliver a painting to my easel that reminds me how small I am is comforting. This piece is also about constants, those things we donā€™t even notice anymore because they always are. Itā€™s a reminder to refocus on my breath and the everyday miracles that surround me. Talk about grounding! You are invited to view Earth and Moon  on my website . Next week I hope to set up prints for the paintings that have sold the last couple months (thank you to my generous and enthusiastic collectors!!). Iā€™ll tuck a notice inside a newsletter once that is done. Meanwhile, wishing all of you a safe and joyous evening. Hoping you find a reset button somewhere in your own lives and we all wak...

Poppy

  Poppy view her on my website Poppy, original acrylic on flat panel, 18ā€x24ā€, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . I am typing this newsletter from across my easel where I have an audience of a crabapple fox, a dahlia fox, a rose filled horse, and a horse exploding with dahlias. I have another large double equine piece I thought would be filled with climbing roses, but it seems she has other plans - nevertheless, she glows with a springlike green and shimmery pink. Meanwhile, the snow and ice outside are melting. It will be a bit before the above color is mirrored in the Michigan landscape, but Iā€™m not letting that hold me back in the studio. You are invited to view Poppy  on my website, inside a room setting  and  up close . The link to purchase her is also there.  Let me know  if you would like a payment plan (30% non refundable deposit with the balance plus shipping paid in ful...

Happy Holidays

  As 2024 draws to a close, I am wrapping myself with all she cultivated and breathing gratitude for being able to share them through my art and actions. Thank you so much for being a part of my journey.

Canopy

  Canopy view her on my website Canopy, original acrylic on flat panel, 16ā€x20ā€, $850 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Winter hasnā€™t even officially begun here in Michigan, and I am already pining for the whisper of foliage. My lungs just donā€™t fill the same way in the colder months (prolly because taking a deep breath outside would freeze me to the core!). Thereā€™s something about being in the woods, feet buried in the soft mouldering ground, listening to the leaves, squirrels and birds gossip, while veils of green filter the light. The squirrels still have much to say and the birds are pretty succinct these days, but I miss the even keeled advice of the leaves. So this painting was an invitation to imagine myself on some of my favorite pathways in some of my favorite green spaces getting some well grounded advice and dirt on the chipmunks. Hang Canopy on your walls, and you get to wander the same trails wit...

Poppy Moon

  Poppy Moon view her on my website Poppy Moon, original acrylic on flat panel, 18ā€x24ā€, private collection (thank you). Prints of Poppy Moon can be ordered   here .   I am so pleased to announce new gallery representation on the east coast.   The Zebra Gallery   in Easton, Maryland prides itself in representing evolutionary artists bringing a novelty to the ordinary. My work has fit right in there! If the end of the year finds you traveling to the D.C. area, take a trip over to   Easton   and say hello to Susan and her staff. And be prepared for an eye-full - itā€™s an honor to have my work in such fantastic company. The Zebra Gallery   joins   Mirada Fine Art (Denver, CO) and   Whiteside Art Gallery (Cashiers, NC). I am so proud of the team representing my work. Please visit these spaces and take advantage of the curated, inspirational collections they have built. You may want to call ahead during this season, just to make sure of holida...

My Pretty

  My Pretty view her on my website My Pretty, original acrylic on flat panel, 18ā€x24ā€, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . When I was a child the holidays were ushered in by watching The Wizard of Oz. This was back in the day before streaming or movie rentals or cable TV, when one had to wait for a network channels to air something. I believe it was Thanksgiving evening, or maybe the next day, when The Wizard of Oz was traditionally aired. It remains one of my favorite holiday memories. I saw Wicked (the movie) a couple weeks ago and it blew my mind. So much eye candy, imaginative spaces, gorgeous costuming, the music and choreography. I realized that Iā€™ve been on a poppy kick with my paintings lately too. So this one started out as pink and green poppies - a nod to Glinda and Elphaba. And I decided I had to title her for The Wicked Witchā€™s nickname for Dorothy, Pretty. I had so much fun with this palette...

Sunbeam

  Sunbeam view her on my website Sunbeam, original acrylic on flat panel, 18ā€x24ā€, $1000 plus s&h. I welcome your questions (yes, I offer payment plans - details below). Just  reach out . Itā€™s been a week of mostly gloomy, gray weather here in Michigan. To combat that, Iā€™m working with bright color and big blooms. Luckily enough, my mood improves when Iā€™m surrounded by color and my day job allows me to do just that. I am so pleased to share that  registration is now open  for my fall 2025 in person workshop (Tustin, California) titled  On the Fly , where we dive into improvisational painting. What is that, you ask? Itā€™s working directly from your source, embracing intuition and spontaneity. A perfect way to elevate your work by building imaginative possibilities and honing your painting chops. Meanwhile, Sunbeam is here waiting to elevate your Vitamin D levels! You can view her  on my website,   inside a room setting  and  up close . The ...
