Original Paintings

Each original painting begins with a moment worth beholding. These one-of-a-kind pieces are created from my own experiences and reflections. I often paint from the beauty I encounter in the world around me, whether it's golden hour, coastal scenes, or wildflowers gracing the landscape. My palette is peaceful yet vibrant, reflecting the renewal I find in nature. Painting, for me, is a bridge between the inner and outer landscape. Each piece is an invitation to pause and behold the beauty woven into everyday life. May these paintings bring beauty, meaning, and peace to the spaces you love most.

My original paintings are shown below. Some originals are currently available through my studio, while others are committed to gallery exhibitions or have found homes with collectors. Click on any painting to learn its story, view additional details and photos, and see its current availability. Artworks that are committed to exhibits are listed as "sold out," but will show the gallery or show information where they may be purchased.

Many of these paintings are also available as museum-quality fine art prints, making it possible to enjoy the artwork even after an original has found its home. You can explore my Print Collection here.
