Art was EVERYWHERE in Prague and Budapest, which I loved in my recent visit. Centuries-old buildings and edifices were covered in patterns, tiles, and paintings. We saw houses in a variety of colors from creams, to shell pinks, to golden yellow, to cantaloupe orange, to sage greens, adorned with orange tile roofs. Street cobbles in all sorts of patterns–each mason designed their section of street or sidewalk as they wished, leading to checkerboards, arches, and all sorts of shapes--for no reason other than to bring delight to the maker and the millions of us walking on those cobbles over hundreds of years. We saw doors created in all manner of styles--heavy carved wood, painted fanciful colors, some with art nouveau ironwork. Seeing how much value was placed in making everyday objects beautiful was so uplifting to me as an artist. What strikes me now as I think about it, is that these works of art weren't all locked behind doors in palaces and government buildings–they were out on the street, down alleys, in squares for everyone to enjoy them. It reminded me of my purpose as an artist--that being surrounded by beautiful art everyday makes our lives better. Art gives us meaning, uplift, and joy. Those scenes, glimmers, and colors inspired this work of Joy, “Vltava River Sunset” which measures 18”x24”.

Would you love some Joy? Well, you've come to the right place. My paintings have been anecdotally proven to bring Joy. Whether you choose paintings abundant with bright, vibrant colors or imbued with a calming, soft gathering of neutrals, your adding my art to your life will bring you Joy. Joy is essential to feeling balanced and restoring, especially in difficult times. I've spent the past four years learning more about the positive impact of joy and playing with how to bring that to my art. Joy brings hope and optimism, for me and for my collectors. I delve deeply into why Joy matters; how it is different from happiness; why we not only need it, but we all **deserve** it. My paintings bring positive energy wherever they are displayed. My paintings have exhibited in solo and group shows in Seattle, Virginia, Maryland, Nashville, North Carolina, and Washington DC, including at the Phillips Collection. My works are held in private collections in Seattle, New York, London, Washington DC, Virginia, California, and around the world. Born in London, England, my parents and I emigrated to the States when I was two. I hold an MFA in Visual Arts at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, an MA from The George Washington University, and a BA from Davidson College. I am married to a retired U.S. Marine, Tom, and we live in Seattle with our beloved Golden Chow, Mory, aka Studio Dog.
