PORTFOLIO OF WORK
Peace Like a River
This original oil painting was inspired by a lovely, bright morning on a quiet river in central Idaho. The scene struck me so deeply that I knew it needed to become something more—a larger piece that could fully capture the peaceful beauty and luminous quality of that moment.
Golden Trees
This original acrylic painting was inspired by the dramatic interplay of sunlight and storm—those fleeting moments when nature creates its own magic. The complementary colors of blue and yellow just feel happy to me, and the bright, golden hues of autumn never fail to delight. This piece captures that joyful energy and the beauty of the changing season.
Red Dahlias and Roses
A vibrant original oil painting featuring lush red dahlias and roses, picked fresh from my own garden and painted in my studio last summer. This piece captures the rich textures and deep colors of these classic blooms at their peak, preserving a moment of natural beauty.
Scottsdale Morning
Bask in the quiet beauty of the desert with Scottsdale Morning, an original 8x10 oil painting capturing the soft light and open space of a Sonoran sunrise. A lone saguaro stands among desert brush, set against distant purple mountains and a sky of gentle clouds. With a soft palette and loose brushwork, this piece evokes the warmth and stillness of early morning in Arizona—bringing a grounded, earthy calm to any space.
The End of a Good Day
This original oil painting was inspired by my own experiences on the Washington coast, one of my favorite places to take my family. After a full day of playing in the sand and waves, we love to stop and take in the sunset—those peaceful moments at the end of a good day are what this piece is all about. The soft light, the rhythm of the waves, and the quiet transition from day to night create memories that stay with you long after you've left the shore.
The Storm Moves On
The Storm Moves On reflects the ever-changing nature of weather and how closely it mirrors our own lives. As light returns to the landscape and the clouds begin to lift, this piece explores the idea that challenges, like storms, are temporary—shifting, passing, and making room for what comes next.
Christine Falls
Christine Falls was painted after my own visit to Mount Rainier National Park. I was drawn to the way the stone bridge frames the falls and how the water moves through the dense forest below. This piece reflects my experience of standing there, taking in the cool air, shifting light, and steady flow of water through the landscape.
Rainier Farm
Nestled in golden pastureland beneath Mount Rainier, Rainier Farm is a tribute to the quiet beauty of rural life. This original 24x36 oil painting features a sunlit red barn, autumn-touched trees, a winding dirt path, and a distant farmhouse—all set against the snow-capped mountain and a sky full of light. With soft, expressive brushwork and a rich natural palette, it evokes a sense of nostalgia and calm, perfect for those who love wide open spaces and the charm of country living.
