Afterburn Painting

Life is chaotic. You're running all day doing all the things, and at the end of the day you want to come home to a relaxing space that's a reflection of who you are and how you want to feel. When you travel, you seek epic natural beauty. When you have a day off, you head for the outdoors. You seek places with the fewest people so that you can really hear the water moving, the breeze blowing, and birds singing. I grew up surrounded by nature, and I have been painting that nature since I was 6. I love every bit of it. We need it. It is healing, soothing and connects every living thing. I joyously pour that love and connection into every painting I create. I know how important it is to come home to a soothing space, so I've invited nature in. When you choose things to adorn your home and body, you choose things that are an expression of who you are. Pieces that communicate what you value and what resonates with you. Things that not only look beautiful, but make you feel the beauty too. When you can't be out frolicking in nature, a little piece of nature can be bringing joy and calm to you. I've worked in many mediums, but I love acrylic and gouache most. Especially together. My art has been awarded and featured in some amazing places, and I've explored natural beauty all over the world. The Pacific Northwest, along with my NW Montana roots, most heavily influences my dreams and work. ​ Go ahead. Invite nature in.
