Steps Forward
Featured in KBM Miniature Masterpieces Exhibition 2025
This painting was a bit of escapism and learning. I spent a lot of time painting places I wanted to go back to while in lock down from old photos. Tried to crank out as many as I could in as small a size as able to. It's how I got used to painting trees and grass. I still dream about this place sometimes, though I don't remember exactly where it is anymore. I'm glad I was able to preserve how that space felt for me.

Mist Trail
Featured in KBM Tranquil and Thankful 2024 Exhibition
This painting is of a trail I've taken most of the time when I have been to Yosemite National Park. Conservation of things like this is one of the things I really treasure. These places make us realize the scale we exist in. It's beautiful and breathtaking. Our NPS has put so much work and love into making these places accessible for us to experience.

Meeting General Sherman
Featured in Biafarin Elements: 2024— juried exhibition
Painting of a quiet walk to visit the General Sherman tree in Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Park. Meeting this living giant really brought you into the scale we all exist in. I wanted to show just how beautiful the depths of its shadows go and the vibrancy of the park that's withstood so much.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with this amazing musician. He creates melodies layered over built-up guitar loops. I asked him one day if he wanted to try to make a song from a painting, something he'd never done. It's become a yearly game of artistic telephone for us now.
Little steps and even breaths is a phrase of self-soothing. I made it up when I was 10 after my first panic attack. When I was painting this piece I wanted to evoke the feelings of vibrancy the world had at that time and the cool autumn changing of the leaves. And the clarity of the path forward. His song captured that perfectly.

En plein air of Delicate Arch. This painting was how I chose to learn more about my Grandfather through visiting and painting the same subjects he loved to paint. Going so far as to recreate the time of year, perspective, and even time of day. It's described best by listening to the album Under the Flight Line by DrMick. That album encapsulated the feeling of this journey for me.

This sculpture was done under the guidance of Klutch Stanaway. I did everything from mold making, sculpting, gateing, casting, and patina on my own. This sculpture won the Dean Award in the 2024 Student Exhibition
Explorations of Home has many meanings to it. My desire to preserve nature and how much I feel we have a hand in that. The desire to explore the beauty around us before it's gone. The fact that everywhere I go with my husband feels like home no matter if it's the forest or the desert. It's a love letter to National Parks and to the relationships I've been able to celebrate through them.
