New Abstract Artwork: I love the vertical look of these – like water gently flowing. These have resin over the blue – stunning in person. You can find this piece at the Four Seasons Gallery in Homewood

This is my first piece using green instead of blue – it has a more earthy feel and I love it! The resin is poured on top of the color, making a beautiful shine in contrast with the matte finish of the texture. Makes you just want to reach out and touch it! You can […]

“Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow […]

I am working on building my collection of abstracts and painting with a friend is always fun. I’m so thankful my career allows me the time to do this over Christmas break. Interested in one of my abstracts? Now is the time to talk to me about it!

I had a little bit of time to spend in the studio over Thanksgiving break and I was able to lay the foundations for a couple of new paintings.

My daughter was playing around with resin on some of her paintings and I thought it might be cool to add some small […]

I love how this turned out! The texture is so much fun. I delight in finding ways to make texture the focus of a piece and this painting kept me mesmerized. You cannot see in a photo the juxtaposition of matte paint against the shiny resin in the stream – but it is beautiful.
