Pinch of Sanity Painting

I have nearly 20 years experience as a working artist in the Pacific NW. I use glazing techniques in both oil and acrylic to create beautifully intriguing layered paintings with saturated color pallets. I work almost exclusively on a large scale of either canvas or walls. These pieces really change the ambiance to any room. My landscapes are inspired by the pacific northwest environment. I incorporate native foliage and trees, I also include a local animal of some kind in each piece such as deer, owls, bears or wolves. I have a strong passion for our environment and animals which I try to show through my work. I enjoy staying active in the art community and have worked as the Vice President for the Gresham art committee in 2015 and as a volunteer at Peoples art of Portland Gallery from 2013-2016. My work has been featured on IFC’s “Portlandia” in several episodes, look for them in Seasons 6 and 8.
