Sorry we missed each other!

My online shop is currently closed for PURCHASES. But feel free to browse through my online gallery and check back again. I'll be back one day!

"Happy Here" (12 x 12 art print)

This painting captured a hibiscus flower which seemed to bloom forever. It brightened up the screen porch of the little rental house we only planned to live at for one SUMMER, but then accidentally stayed at for two entire YEARS.

Rosy went to college!

Since she loves to learn about new things, Rosy went with me to The University of South Carolina. Unfortunately, due to her lacking a high school transcript, she didn’t get very far… but I picked up a BA in Studio Art! Visit my instagram to see pics from along the way.

"Hope" (12 x 12 art print)

The best thing about flowers on paper is how they never wilt! I named this painting after my sister-in-law HOPE. Her name suits her well, as her life is a reflection of how good & beauty can found all around if you just take the time to look a little more closely.

Speaking of “Happy Here"...

Iowa is a pretty nice place to be. I came here once to visit my son, and then came back for the second time less than a year later. But by that time I was enrolled in graduate school and that’s where I’ve been ever since.

A whole of lot NEW paintings!

This painting is called ACCEPTANCE. It’s part of a series of 5 identical zinnias; each representing a different phase of the same emotional journey. One day I might have prints of these for sale, but for now, they are keeping me happy and on my toes!

Back to the drawing board…

Sometimes life takes the most unexpected turns. I went to grad school to study painting, but ended up realizing how much my early years as a graphic designer shaped my painting practice. So now, I’m working on an MFA in Graphic Design too! Our grad studio is located in this building and looks out over both sunrise and sunset every day. I can’t think of a better place to stretch my brain alongside such an incredibly warm, and talented, group of creative people!
