Colorful mixed media still life paintings to inspire more joy and gratitude in everyday life.

10/28/2026

I've been over the moon excited about a series of paintings installed last week at the Hendrick Professional Center here in Abilene, TX. The Hendrick Designer, Amy Forrest, has been a dream to work with. I still have a few more paintings to complete and add to this installation, but I couldn't wait to show you how they looked at the soft opening on Friday.

Two of my works MIXHAUS GALLERY booth E12 in the Houston Affordable Art Fair Texas this weekend. I’m not there but I’m enjoying peeks of so much good art from other peoples shares. My title for the landscape was borrowed from this Talking Heads song. Thoughts of all those who immigrated to Texas and the layers of events and people that get absorbed into the land.

I’m excited to share that I have work included by MIXHAUS GALLERY in the upcoming Affordable Art Fair Texas later this month

In progress. Seems like no matter how many years I’ve been painting, my initial idea never works out. It’s a crooked journey and the emotional ups and downs are sometimes rough. I have to believe that the “wrong” turns benefit the final painting. Giving textures and colors and forms that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. I guess that’s why in life and in art we are advices to trust the process.

Painting on Labor Day!

I’m over here desperately trying to pretend it’s Fall.

I’m early stages here. So much of the background will be painted over with some areas visible through the layers. I really like to have an up close experience that’s interesting and draws the viewer in. I’ve been meaning to paint this swan planter that was my grandmother’s for a long time. The Queen Elizabeth tin is a new (old) find.

I’d forgotten I had a 24” floater frame to fit “Long Shadows.” It’s part of an ongoing table top series I have and an ode to favorite artists I grew up admiring and thoughts of my creative grandmothers and mother.
