Unscheduled Rhythms
$2,100.00
This is another example of art that came about when I decided it was time to paint over an older painting. I LOVE doing that. Visitors to my studio are always shocked because they have often liked the older painting. Most of the time I still like the older painting as well, but it is time for me to let it go. This is because my work has led me in another direction. There is a freedom in making a decision, and just going for it, painting with abandon over a previous piece.

Moment in Childhood
$400.00
When I have a painting that simply doesn't want to work, I don't fret (for long😉), instead I paint over it. This painting is an example of just that. I love the rough quality of this painting, and the way that it evokes the snow-covered afternoons of my youth.
I have a specific memory with my mother, and for some reason, that comes to mind when I look at this piece. My sister was working in an office not far from our home. It had been snowy and it was well after dark when she was to get off of work. Not wanting her to walk home alone in the snow and ice, my mother and I met her, and the three of us walked home together. It was then that my mother shared with me that she loved the sound of the snow crunching underfoot. I think of this experience whenever I hear that familiar sound. This painting was made on a cradle panel and is ready to hang in your home or office.

Buoyed by Memories

Anything's Possible Here
$550.00
This is another abstracted landscape that started with lots of layers of acrylic paint. It's like a treasure hunt to look closely at the painting and see colors revealed just below the surface. I let my intuition guide me with these paintings. In this case, I challenged myself to use colors that I rarely use. It was fun to work with hues that I am not as comfortable with using. Making challenges like this for myself allows me to explore my art in ways that require even more intuitive thought when it comes to the colors I choose.

This painting went through lots and lots of changes. It wanted to be a mountain scene, and I was "somewhat" satisfied with it. One day, while working on another piece, I looked over at this one and experienced an "aha" moment and knew exactly what I wanted to do to make the painting stronger. That is one of my favorite things about making art. The solutions come to you unbidden, and it is like magic.

Travel is always inspiring. In 2019 I was able to visit Peru. Having never seen the Andes in person, I was unprepared for the impact they had on me. Flying in to Cuzco, I was never so happy to have a window seat on a plane. Looking down on those mountains was mesmerizing because they appeared as if a higher power had taken the land and crushed it into impossible slopes. The colors and patterns that I saw inspired me as well. I am transported whenever I think of Peru which came to mind while working on this painting in acrylic on panel.

A Different Flower

Passage of Time

Click Song
$2,100.00
This painting was inspired by an amazing tree that we encountered in South Africa. I say encountered because it wasn't simply that I saw the tree, the tree was such a magnificent specimen that I was practically transported to another place simply by being around it. I snapped pictures with the idea that someday I would paint it. Rather than someday, I started the painting directly after our return home. The painting isn't a replica of what the tree's appearance was. It is instead a representation of the way that the tree made me feel.
The name of the painting is based on the title of a traditional song of the Xhosa people of South Africa. It is sung at weddings to bring good fortune.
Our wonderful guide spoke multiple languages, including Xhosa and he played the "Click Song" for us when he found out that I was particularly fascinated with the African languages that include clicks. You may listen to the "Click Song" on you devices, simply Google Click Song.
