Hello! Thank you for stopping by!

I’m a born and raised Oregonian, from a tiny little town in the far northeast corner of the state.

I’ve got golfers coming out of my ears! Actually, that’s a bit of an exaggeration - I only have three new little golfer paintings, but they’ll be up in my shop soon. 😉 That makes 26, 27, and 28 of 100 paintings for my brother.❤️
In case you’re looking for a Father’s Day gift, I’ve got a new little series of my golfer paintings in the works! 😉 #fathersdaygifts Also, this is number 25 of 100 paintings for my brother - stay tuned for a tally of how much mone
Another field o’ flowers...I am trying my best to grow my own sunshine on yet another gray and soggy Portland day. #ineedsunshine This is painting number 24 of 100 paintings for my brother. 😉
Raise your hand if you love the high desert as much as I do. 💛 The colors, the smells, the dry air, the wide open blue sky (or in my version, pink!)...again, this one is inspired by places I want to be. Painting 23 of #100paintingsformybrother
Continuing on with my theme, daydreaming and making a list of places I can’t wait to visit again (hopefully soon).💛 This is painting 22 of 100 paintings for my brother.
