Current Collection
Garden Party
The collection I am currently building is called “Garden Party.” I spent a year searching for something that I could hang over our dining table, which would invoke lively conversation, feelings of community, and the sense of abundance. I conjured what I believed felt like the sum total of all the elements of a great meal shared with good company: beautiful tablescapes, lush florals (arrangements or otherwise), and delicious ingredients. What resulted was an explosion of color and organically flowing brush strokes, dotted with edible goodies and gorgeous glassware and ceramics; in a few words: a Garden Party.

KELP DREAMS
During a summer spent living and working in Alaska, I went surfing in the frigid waters along the coastline of a volcano. The stunning beauty made catching waves unnecessary. However, I did catch one and fall, and below the surface, a vast tangled net of kelp forests grabbed at my ankles and held me underwater for a few moments longer than I would have liked. I dreamed about the dark world beneath the waves for weeks before I started envisioning them as these magical, dreamy, colorful worlds we knew nothing about. I found I could not stop myself from painting those otherworldly visions.
Ongoing Collection
mini paintings
In August 2022, I began a series of mini (4x4”) acrylic paintings in an effort to practice painting from photographs. Having spent so much time traveling around the US and other countries, camera in tow, I had plenty to work with! I continue to expand this collection because they give me opportunities to improve my skills and to share more of what I’m capable of with my clients. As an added bonus, their small scale makes them more accessible pieces of art for clients who are just starting their collections, or for those who want just a small way to celebrate a place they love.
