"Dear" 24x24

"Dear" 24x24
A long lost letter of love and forgiveness. The un-crumpling of the letter signifies the return of forgiveness and the love that's lasted throughout the years.

"Knot in the Dark" 24x24

I like the contrast between the light paper and the hard granite beneath it, as well as the roughness of the paper against the smoothness of the granite. The contrasting elements provide a sense of calm stillness amidst their opposing characteristics.

"Chatter Box" 24"x24"


Still one of my favorites of white on white. I felt it had a lot to say, hence the title :)

"Waterfall" 16.25"x32.5"

This paper image inspired me. It reminded me of a waterfall, so I used these colors to bring home the image that I was seeing. This is also my daughter's favorite paper piece, "the color scheme is like the rainbow of the sea."

Abstract Snow Scene

This is one of my biggest abstract paintings at 30"x 40." I have gone back and forth between seeing it as a snow scene and a hazy meadow. I don't have a description for it, but I hope that the audience is able to create their own interpretation. After all, that's what abstract pieces are for, right?

Lily Pond

I wanted to create a meditative image, and this is what I came up with! I couldn't think of a clever name for it, hence "Lily Pond," but I definitely achieved simplicity!

Potential Painting

I love painting portraits because you learn so much. There are so many details that are incredibly crucial to paint correctly. Each of us are unique; one slip of the paintbrush and this precious girl will look like someone else. Here's to a great challenge!
