"the christmas waltz" (nutcracker original oil)

life is sweeter in candy color! my oil paintings are a celebration of those sweet moments in between the hard and unsavory...a refuge from the unwanted parts of life that so often visit us all. thick strokes of paint & color with stained glass shine -- are windows to the deepest treasured memories in our hearts.  life is rarely easy and jolly...but savoring the sweet moments gives us the strength we need to find peace, growth, and fulfillment along our journey.

formally trained as a landscape architect, my work beckons the “outside-in” by depicting the natural world: flora & fauna in our yard, neighboring fields, and from my travels.
