This was so much fun to paint 🤍 A client asked me if I could come up with a drawing of Jesus painting the spots on a Dalmatian. And now I feel the need to do one of my own Luna being formed 🥹

Recently had the pleasure of being commissioned to paint this lovely family in my line portrait style 🤍

This one was a bit challenging as I had to piece together multiple reference photos and design the poses rather than work from a single photo. Always a good feeling when you make it work tho!

Another painting that will be hard to part with when the time comes 🤍

“What Wounds We Carry”

The swan has long been a symbol of beauty, grace, and love. Here, however, the swan carries a wound upon its breast- a quiet reminder that even what appears strong and graceful can bear unseen pain. Caught between ascent and gravity, it lifts its gaze with its wings spread open in an act of defiance. The faint traces of blood reflected in the ripples suggest that our wounds can leave marks not only on the world around us, but also on the way we see ourselves. Yet among the darkness, lilies bloom. Offering a reminder that beauty, hope, and new life can still grow in the darkest of times. Ultimately, my painting is an invitation to consider what we carry, what leaves its mark upon us, and what continues to push us toward the light.

“Where the Water Shines”
11x14 Impressionist Waterscape in Oil Pastel

The first picture is inside lighting while the second is direct sunlight

I wanted to capture the peace of the moving, shimmering water and the steady presence of the lighthouse in the distance. I sat in the sand at the cove in Canatara Park, painting as the breeze moved across the water and the sun shone overhead.

I’ll be having this piece framed and it will be featured as one of our studio raffle pieces for First Friday . Follow along on Instagram for updates and raffle information!
