Oil and watercolor paintings of the natural world and its everyday wonder.
Because the wild isn't only out there: it's the violet on the windowsill, the honeybee deep in a blossom, the first rain on a warm afternoon.

Frieda's African Violets
This painting is named for my great-grandmother, Frieda — a Renaissance woman who always grew African violets on her windowsills. The original passed the Fair's jury and hangs in the fine art exhibit through early July.
I'm making archival prints this August. Leave your email and you'll be the first to know, along with new work and a little of the story behind them.
No spam — just new work and the occasional note from the studio.
I paint to slow down, and to share that feeling with someone else. The deeper you look, the more you remember you're part of something ancient and connected — a world of detail, color, and wonder you might otherwise have passed right by.
That's what these paintings are: windows into the moment, windows into the world you notice when you slow down, windows into the beautiful wildness alive in each of us.
