Into the Back Garden
Into the Back Garden30 in. x 40 in.minerals on canvasInto the Back Garden depicts the magical motifs I’ve been using in my work for over ten years which are inspired by living in wintery landscapes where snow blankets the ground for a good portion of the year. Places like northern Michigan, Vermont, and Norway. Living in a cold climate there is no excuse but to go outside, get in to nature, and play in the snowy landscape. I love to paint scenes from around the house and incorporate striped woolen clothes hanging on a line to dry, scratching into wet paint as evidence of activity leaving tracks in the snow and in the grass, and whimsical objects from around the garden. I think of this painting as a sort of summery scene where magical gnomes may live.
Along the Garden Path
Along the Garden Path12 in. x 12 in.minerals on canvasAlong the Garden Path is a deeply green abstract painting with accents of white and black. The composition suggests dense foliage and shifting shadows, capturing the immersive feeling of walking through a lush, overgrown garden. It evokes a sense of quiet focus and connection to the natural world.
Jardin
Jardin16 in. x 16 in.minerals on canvasThis lush painting is inspired by my favorite childhood book, The Secret Garden. My Grandpa gave me the book when I was eight, and it was filled with vibrant colors and wild, pop-up paper plants and trees that seemed to leap from the pages. The book could be tied with a ribbon, and it featured a lock on the front, accompanied by a little key that I would wear around my neck. As a child, I loved playing outside in the untamed edges of our yard, engaging in make-believe and communicating with the plants and animals. The vivid imagination of my youth has stayed with me, and it now manifests in my paintings, which are filled with motifs that capture the wildness of nature and the freedom we experience when we connect with the world around us.

Sturgeon Moon
Sturgeon MoonTitled Sturgeon Moon, this artwork conveys the spirit of the night sky in late summer, highlighting a luminous full moon that bathes the dark canvas in a warm, glowing light. Through layered textures, I created a moody atmosphere evoking the magic of twilight. The moon, with its radiant presence, contrasts against the shadowy background, while subtle scraping techniques reveal hidden layers, adding depth. This interplay of light and dark invites viewers to explore the serene yet powerful beauty of the night. A bright moon standing in the vast expanse of the night sky.16 in. x 20 in.acrylic on canvas
