Welcome to my Portfolio

Here you’ll find a curated glimpse into my heart as an artist. These three collections hold some of my most beloved work. Earth’s Embrace honors the quiet strength of the natural world. Wild Hearts celebrates the creatures that awaken our sense of wonder. Captured Moments reflects the beauty in the everyday, those small scenes that stay with us long after the moment has passed.

  • Golden Crest

    Step into the serenity of the sea with Golden Crest, an original gouache painting that captures the ocean’s graceful power and fleeting beauty. A wave arches with elegance, its crest aglow with the last golden light of day. This painting is a tribute to the rhythm of nature, a reminder of those rare, quiet moments when the world seems to slow down. Its soothing palette and flowing movement bring a sense of calm and wonder to any space, inviting you to pause, breathe, and imagine the sound of waves meeting the shore. Let this piece transform your space into a sanctuary of light and tide, where the beauty of nature is always within reach.

  • Lavender Fields Forever

    Imagine yourself truly present, breathing in the fragrant air, surrounded by a sea of purple that stretches to meet a vibrant, verdant horizon. Lavender Fields Forever is an invitation to that very moment—a journey into the heart of a sun-drenched lavender field where the world outside simply fades away. My brush has sought to capture that profound solace, the very feeling of being utterly consumed by nature's embrace. This piece celebrates not just the tangible gifts of nurturing plants, but more profoundly, the restorative grace of simply being among nature. It's about allowing the unbounded beauty of a wild field to envelop you, gently beckoning you into the mindful immediacy of the present—to breathe, to feel, to simply be. This artwork offers a vibrant sanctuary, a tender guide to re-center your spirit and recall the tranquil magic of finding yourself truly lost in the moment, among the whispering blossoms.

  • Aloe Confluence

    This piece was inspired by the quiet power of plants—the way they exist, endure, and give without asking for much in return. In this piece I aimed to capture the feeling of being drawn in, of noticing something familiar, but seeing it in a new way. There’s something mesmerizing about the way this aloe reaches outward—bold, fluid, alive. The closer you get, the more there is to see. One leaf extends forward, almost as if it’s reaching for you. Maybe it reminds you of the aloe sitting on your windowsill, of the way its cool gel soothed a sunburn once, or of the scent of fresh earth after watering your plants. Or maybe it just stirs something you can’t quite name—that quiet pull toward nature, toward connection, toward something deeper than what meets the eye.

  • Sun-Kissed Tomatoes

    There’s a particular kind of magic in the garden at peak summer—when the air is thick with heat and the scent of tomato vines rises with every step. This painting is a study of that moment: when you lean in, brush past the leaves, and catch a glimpse of deep red glowing beneath the green. I’ve always loved the smell of tomatoes ripening in the sun, and the simple pleasure of picking one warm from the vine and tasting it right there in the garden. In Sun-Kissed Tomatoes, I wanted to capture that feeling—the quiet intimacy of being among the plants, the richness of late summer, and the beauty of what we often overlook. It’s an invitation to pause, to notice, and to remember the deep joy that comes from growing, gathering, and connecting with the earth.

  • Desert Blaze

    Step into the vibrant beauty of the open road with Desert Blaze, an original gouache painting that captures the desert’s untamed spirit at sunset. The sky ignites with saturated hues which casts a glow over the landscape. Rugged mountains stand watch in the distance. Before you is a smooth stretch of highway that unfurls endlessly toward the horizon. This piece is an invitation to explore the unknown, to embrace the thrill of the journey itself. Let Desert Blaze serve as a reminder that adventure lies just beyond the horizon and that the road ahead is as meaningful as the destination itself.

  • Crossing New Horizons

    This piece captures a bay at dusk, where the last light of an orange and violet sunset melts into the deep blues and vibrant pinks of the water. A bridge, blurred with the soft glow of headlights, sweeps gracefully into the distant city—its lights shimmering like quiet promises on the horizon. Expressive marks ripple through the bay, like secret messages hidden just below the surface, inviting you to pause. This piece is perfect for anyone standing at the edge of change, ready to step into something new. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful things wait on the other side of the unknown. A celebration of courage, movement, and the quiet magic of chasing your next horizon.

  • Golden Autumn Sunrise

    The forest glows with the rich hues of autumn’s deep reds, fiery oranges, and golden yellows woven together in the quiet embrace of morning light. As you step into a clearing, the crisp air fills your lungs, and for a moment, time slows. Before you, a range of gray and snow-capped mountains rises in the distance, standing silent beneath the first rays of the waking sun. This painting is a tribute to those rare, quiet moments when the world feels hushed and expectant, where the warmth of golden foliage wraps around you like a whispered promise. 

  • Bluejay’s Gaze

    There’s something about the way this bluejay looks at you—piercing, sharp, like he sees right through you. His gaze holds a quiet intensity, a knowing. Every feather is alive with layered brushstrokes, a dance of deep blues and electric light, textured and rich like the wind ruffling his plumage. The background hums with life, a tapestry of vibrant greens, loose and abstract, echoing the sway of trees and the hush of leaves. Beneath it all, hints of neon reddish-orange peek through—a pulse of energy, a whisper of something unseen but deeply felt. Even the soft whites and greys of his plumage pulse with color, subtly saturated, never still. This isn’t just a bird—it’s a presence. A moment of wild stillness, holding you in its sights, making you stop, breathe, and meet its gaze.

  • Pollinator’s Peace

    Imagine leaning in, closer than ever before, to witness a tiny miracle unfolding—a moment usually lost in the rush of the world. Pollinator's Peace invites you into that intimate space, bringing you eye-level with a vibrant lavender bloom and its industrious visitor. My intention here was to freeze time, allowing you to truly bend down and absorb a scene often too fleeting to fully appreciate. This piece speaks to the incredible, often overlooked, interactions that sustain our natural world. By focusing on this solitary bee on lavender, I aimed to create a powerful reminder to slow down, to truly see the intricate dance between plants and the creatures they support. It's a celebration of the essential work plants do for both us and the wider ecosystem, offering a deeper appreciation for the simple, vital moments of nature.

  • Toucan’s Perch

    Step into the heart of nature with Toucan’s Perch, an original gouache painting that celebrates the resilience and grace of one of the jungle’s most striking creatures. Amidst the gentle rhythm of falling rain, the toucan perches in quiet reverence, its golden chest glowing like sunlight breaking through the mist, a vivid symbol of strength amidst the storm. This piece speaks to the harmony of the jungle’s vibrant and strong, yet serene presence. The rain whispers, the leaves glisten, and the toucan simply is, at home in the storm, a quiet guardian of the jungle’s wisdom. This painting invites you to experience the beauty of the untamed world and the serenity found in the quiet moments of nature.

  • Electric Hare

    A burst of neon energy, this rabbit practically vibrates off the canvas with its wild mix of electric pinks, prismatic purples, and deep indigo shadows. The abstract background—alive with graffiti-like drips of aqua, and strokes of yellow, and violet—enhances the untamed spirit of the piece. Hints of gold catch the light, adding a touch of hidden magic to the whirlwind. The hare’s wide eyes and slightly open mouth lend a mischievous, hypnotic charm—somewhere between psycho and adorable. It’s a painting that pulls you in, makes you smile, and leaves you wondering what this little creature is thinking. Created to spark joy, this original artwork is a reminder that a touch of wildness and a burst of color can brighten your day.

  • Starry-Eyed Heeler

    Step into the energy and intelligence of the Starry Eyed Heeler, an original gouache painting that captures the spirit of a Blue Heeler in vibrant, swirling hues. The loyal gaze of this dog meets the light, full of intelligence and a quiet wildness that mirrors the vastness of the night sky. The swirling indigos, deep blues, and soft aqua tones create a dynamic portrait of the heeler’s fur, each stroke alive with movement and energy and a palette reminiscent of Van Gogh’s Starry Night. This piece is a tribute to the spirit of loyalty and adventure. Let this piece serve as a reminder of the wild beauty and quiet strength found in both nature and the loyal companion at your side.

  • Awestruck Aussie

    Imagine a burst of pure, unadulterated joy – the kind that radiates from a happy heart on a perfect summer day. This piece is an invitation to that very feeling, showcasing a vibrant field stretching under a bright blue sky, with an Australian Shepherd whose expression speaks of boundless possibility. You can almost feel the pup's happy energy, as if it just arrived in this floral paradise, the whole world a playground. Let its joyful gaze transport you back to that exhilarating moment before diving into something new and wonderful, or simply to the freeing, calming energy of a beautiful, sunny day amidst wildflowers. My intention was to bottle that potent feeling of joyful anticipation and the serene energy of a perfect summer moment in nature and to serve as a reminder of the pure wonder found in new beginnings and the simple pleasures of a bright day.

  • Frost & Fire Cardinal

    Amidst the icy hush of winter, a cardinal perches like a flicker of flame against the cold. Layers of rich reds and deep oranges bring its feathers to life, a warm contrast to the expressive, frostbitten blues of the abstract background. Beneath the layers of brushstrokes, hints of an electric underpainting—neon red and aqua—pulse through, infusing the piece with energy and depth. The cardinal’s crest stands tall, exaggerated in a way that feels both regal and a touch eccentric, as if the wind itself sculpted its untamed silhouette. With a bright orange beak and a cheeky, knowing gaze, this bird is more than just a winter visitor—it is a spark of warmth and personality amid the frozen stillness.

  • Radiant Resting Jaguar

    Among the jungle trees a jaguar is at rest, draped over a sturdy branch, just watching and waiting. For this piece, I wanted to honor the jaguar’s deep strength, its powerful presence as the quiet guardian of the jungle. For me, the jaguar is a spirit of protection, bold and unshaken. Watching over the jungle, not with fear, but with fierce awareness. This piece began with a bold underpainting, where fiery pinks and deep blues merged to create a luminous backdrop that subtly glows through the final layers . With each stroke, the jaguar’s form took shape—its spotted coat soft yet commanding, its energy both calm and electric. The untamed power of the wild pulses beneath the stillness, like breath held just beneath the surface. Maybe you’ve felt the need for that kind of presence in your own life—a quiet force watching over you, steady and sure. Let this piece be a reminder that strength doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it rests, deeply rooted, always aware.

  • Peaceful Slumber

    This piece is about stillness, the kind that settles over everything when a tiny creature curls up and drifts into sleep. I instantly fell in love with this little kitten, nestled into soft folds of blanket, completely at peace. I wanted to capture the quiet magic of that moment, how the shadows wrapped gently around its body, the softness in its face, and the feeling that the whole world had paused. Maybe it reminds you of holding a sleeping kitten in your lap, or the way time slows when you are close to something small and trusting. There is a tenderness in that kind of moment, a calm that settles in your chest, as if the rest of the world fades and all that matters is the quiet presence of something so little and dear.

  • Sweet Harmony

    In this delicate close-up, the soft glow of light wraps around a creamy cake, casting a serene warmth over the ivory frosting that seems to hold more color than it lets on. This piece captures a moment of quiet indulgence, where lilac flowers gently adorn the surface and rich, glistening blackberries catch the light, each berry shimmering with life.The simple blue-gray background allows the deep indigos and gentle purples to take center stage, drawing the eye into a scene that feels both calming and indulgent. The gouache layers are applied with soft, expressive brushstrokes, balancing color and texture in a way that invites you to pause, breathe, and savor the sweetness of the moment. This painting is an offering of nature’s beauty, a reminder that even the smallest details can bring a sense of peace and wonder.

  • Golden Morning

    A simple yet timeless subject, brought to life with light, color, and texture. This piece captures the quiet beauty of a slow morning, where even the most ordinary moments hold a touch of magic. The rich golden yolk, warm and full of depth, sits at the center with crispy, delicate edges that contrast beautifully against a bold blue-turquoise backdrop. Soft shadows weave subtle hints of color across the surface, infusing energy into the piece. This oil painting transforms the familiar into something quietly captivating, a tribute to the way light and color can elevate the simplest things. The brushstrokes are both deliberate and expressive, celebrating the warmth of morning light and the satisfaction of a moment paused. Designed to draw you in with its rich saturation and timeless simplicity, this piece is a reminder that beauty often lies in the small, unnoticed moments that make up our days.

  • Dreaming of Paris

    Step into a dreamer’s vision with Dreaming in Paris, my original oil painting that captures the city’s enchantment in rich, expressive strokes. The Eiffel Tower rises gracefully against a backdrop of deep purples, twilight blues, passionate pinks, and glowing yellows, turning cold iron into something warm and luminous. Each brushstroke tells a story of romance and wonder, inviting you to pause and imagine wandering the cobblestone streets beneath a Parisian sky. From this unique angle, the Eiffel Tower feels both grand and intimate, its intricate structure bathed in the glow of a Parisian evening. Dark indigo shadows ground the scene, while vivid hues breathe life into the cityscape celebrating a place where history, art, and love are beautifully intertwined. This painting is a tribute to the magic of chasing dreams and the beauty of seeing the world with hope and softness. Let this piece serve as a reminder that art has the power to transport, to comfort, and to keep dreams alive no matter where you are.

  • Gummy Bear Glow

    There’s something quietly magical about how light moves through gummy candy—how it glows, bends, and dances in ways that feel almost unreal. This piece was created in pursuit of that glow, to highlight the way light transforms even the simplest object into something mesmerizing. While painting, I found myself completely lost in the abstract shapes and edges that formed the bear. I found unexpected beauty hiding in what most would see as a simple treat. Though expressive and abstract in brushwork, the gummy bear remains instantly familiar. More than just a study of light and color, this nostalgic candy painting is a celebration of joy. The kind of joy you felt as a child, when something as small as a little treat could brighten your day. This piece is a visual love letter to wonder, nostalgia, and those simple, sweet moments that have the power to lift your spirits and bring a smile to your face. I hope this painting is a reminder that those moments still live inside of you.

  • Blueberry Bounty

    Imagine the cool, smooth skin of a freshly picked berry against your fingertips, bursting with the essence of a perfect summer day. My brush brings you directly to this vibrant pile, where a select few berries gleam with remarkable clarity, their surfaces alive with subtle textures, while the rest recede into an abstract, sumptuous mass of blues and purples. The dark, rich shadows create a stunning contrast, making each highlighted berry truly pop and shine, almost tangible to the touch. This painting is a sensory journey, meant to transport you to those idyllic days spent in a sun-drenched orchard, pail in hand, gathering nature's sweet bounty. It evokes the promise of a warm summer evening, perhaps with a cup of fragrant blueberry tea or a homemade treat, enjoyed on a peaceful porch.

  • Unlaced

    Unlaced calls you into that sweet, quiet moment at day's end, the one where you just kick off your shoes and let the outside world melt away. There's a soft hush to this scene, a comfortable unraveling in the disarray of the laces, speaking to that truly personal sigh of relief you feel when you're finally home after a long day. The rich shadows and monochrome purple color story allow the subject to take center stage.  This piece is about finding magic in the mundane, and truly seeing the stories held within our most familiar things. It's a whisper to slow down, to breathe, and to remember that the greatest comforts often live in the simplest, most unadorned parts of our wild, beautiful lives.

  • Cafe After Dark

    There’s something about summer nights that makes time melt away. This piece captures the moment when the sun has slipped completely away, but the night still hums with life. The little pink café sits at the corner, glowing warm against the deepening blue of twilight. A vintage street lamp flickers to life, casting golden light across the cobblestone street—a path that seems to be waiting just for you. You can almost hear the quiet laughter drifting from the patio, see the silhouettes of your friends gathered beneath the glow, their faces lit by soft candlelight and conversation. This painting is a love letter to slow evenings, to the kind of summer cafe scene you find yourself dreaming of—where no one’s in a hurry, and the night stretches wide and full of promise. Maybe it reminds you of a favorite trip… or maybe it pulls you toward one you’ve yet to take. Either way, it’s an invitation—to linger, to savor, to be exactly where you are.

  • Sizzle & Shine

    A quiet, familiar comfort—the golden yolk, just set, ringed with soft whites and flecked with cracked black pepper. This painting is a study of one simple moment: the warmth of a skillet, the hush of a slow morning, and the deep satisfaction of cooking something with your own hands. The colors are bold and joyful, echoing the brightness of weekend light streaming into the kitchen. I wanted this piece to capture that sense of pause and presence—when breakfast isn’t just fuel, but a ritual. A way of savoring time and feeling truly at home.

  • Sunrise Cafe

    A light pink café basks in the glow of bright morning sunshine, its open door offering a warm welcome to start your day. Soft yellow light dapples the ground, creating a cheerful path that leads you inside. Through the doorway, you can glimpse the cozy interior—lights on, tables set, everything ready for the first guest. Bright green plants in matching pink pots line the side of the building, inviting you in with their fresh, friendly energy. Loose brushstrokes and playful color bring the scene to life, capturing the joyful stillness of a perfect morning moment. Come on in and start your day off right!

  • Camp Lantern’s Glow

    This piece is a call back to those fleeting summer moments we never really outgrow—the hush of dusk settling in, the soft chill that calls for a sweatshirt, and the ritual of lighting the old lantern just as the sky begins to darken. I painted this piece to capture the feeling of being completely present, surrounded by nature, with nothing to do but soak in the magic of a night outdoors. The vintage gas lantern glows warmly against a backdrop of abstracted blues and greens, echoing the softness of birch trees at twilight. Painted from an intimate angle, it pulls you close—like you’re sitting right there at the old picnic table, hands resting on the wood, waiting for the stars to appear. It’s more than a still life. It’s a moment suspended in time—an invitation back to those simple, sacred nights where the world felt small, safe, and full of wonder.
