"The Journey". 2025, 24x20, oil on stretched canvas. $1,850.00 (on sale soon). Creating art is my calling. Although, it took me a long time to own it. I've wrestled with the push and pull, soaring confidence and whispers of doubt. The buffalo are my reminder of the inner strength I possess even when I feel weak. They travel a winding path like me, that is ever shifting, always moving in opposite directions, and never in a straight line. This a journey woven by the quiet power within me.
"Frida's Delight". 2025, 9x12, oil on linen panel. $500.00 (on sale soon). After moving to Seattle last summer, I discovered that hummingbirds stay here year-round. Two of them visit the feeders outside my home every day. I’ve named them Frida and Diego. Frida is the more assertive of the two. She is fiercely territorial over both the feeders and the camellias in my yard, rarely letting Diego take a sip. Recently, my neighbor’s hibiscus started to bloom, and Frida has already claimed the flowers as her own. This painting is a tribute to her fiery spirit and the sweet winter treats she guards so proudly. Sorry, Diego.
"Shadow Drifting Like the Clouds Above", Western America, 2024. 14x11, oil on canvas. $750.00. The American bison can live up to 20 years or more, bearing witness to the passage of time and the legacy of the land. Shadow, a seasoned wanderer of these lands, embodies resilience and timeless spirit, moving with the same steady grace as his ancestors. This painting was inspired by the quiet strength of these amazing time travelers. They are living symbols of the American West and nature’s enduring power, gliding across the plains like the clouds above.
"Sky Dog of the Sage", Western America, 2024. 20x16, oil on canvas. $1,120.00 Horses were seen as divine gifts-large dogs from the sky, bestowed by the Creator in Native American lore. These “Sky Dogs” became integral to the cultural fabric of the Indigenous peoples, symbolizing power and survival. Painting a horse for battle was a sacred ritual, a transformative act that empowered both the steed and its rider. Each marking on a war horse told a story, reflecting the warrior’s achievements and offering spiritual protection. This “Sky Dog” was once a mighty companion in countless battles. Now he revels in the tranquility of the sage-covered plains. His days of conflict are behind him. The war paint and old battle wounds begin to fade, replaced by serenity that honors the legacy of his journey.
“8 Points of Peace”, -Rocky Mountain National Park, 2024. 16x20, oil on canvas. $1,120.00. The elk stands tall, his antlers draped with prayer flags swaying gently in the mountain breeze. He’s a guardian of these lands, a keeper of memories, trails wandered, and sunsets watched. The mountains curve around him, offering the calm and clarity I’ve always found in Colorado’s rugged beauty. It’s a scene that instantly takes me back “home.” This painting is my love letter to Colorado, a place that’s woven into the fabric of who I am. It’s more than just a state—it's the smell of pine after the rain, the golden light on the peaks, and the peace I carry with me, no matter where I go.
“Once We Were Many” -Colorado/Wyoming border, fall 2023. 36x24, oil on stretched canvas. $2,750.00. Perched atop the hillside along the Colorado/Wyoming border, a metal buffalo sculpture watches over the land below. In the fall of 2023, I went on a few day trips through this area and was captivated by the presence of the sculpture. My thoughts often drifted to a time when buffalo reigned over the land. It is the inspiration for this painting. The buffalo stands proudly among the sweeping western plains. Akin to figures in a carnival shooting gallery, the composition serves as a metaphor for the buffalo’s historic struggle on the brink of extinction during the 19th Century. Their story is a heartbreaking and haunting narrative of greed, habitat loss, and unrelenting predation. Woven into the very fabric of their resilience, the profound impact these majestic creatures have had on indigenous communities and the environment cannot be underestimated. “All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it.”- Chief Seattle
