  • Where Sky Intertwines with Earth

    Where Sky Intertwines with Earth

    This piece is about the connection between water, sky, and earth. Sometimes I feel like I take for granted how intertwined the three are. It’s like when I randomly look up at the blue of the sky and I realize all over again how incredible, sparkly, and bright the blue actually is. Or when I…

    The Cardinal Character

    9:45 am • The trees are still dusky. The morning light filters through soft and sweet. The sun warms the trees and flowers, the smells of spring fill the air reminiscent of syrup and honey.

    The Wood Turtle makes its way up the river bank after a long cold season spent in the mud. It is welcomed by the spring growth that carpets the ground. All winter it has dreamed of the sweet kisses of fresh foraged foods. The berries, worms, mushrooms, & sprouts have been calling to the slow,…

    Laying in Wonder

    It is so wondrous to watch spring bloom after a long winter – to watch while the wild world grows and springs to life is utterly breathtaking. Simultaneously, there is a global pandemic that is striking all areas of the human world and people are dying – the shared anxiety is palpable. The colors of…

    Spring Growth

    Spring is a time for growth. New life is born and old life is reawakened. Flora and fauna remember how to live in their environment as things change with the season. Newborn fawns are a common sign of spring in the Northwoods. These mild-mannered critters face many tough challenges as they grow up. I see…

  • A Joyful Tide

    A Joyful Tide

    Beavers are the whole package. They are tough, awesome swimmers, incredible architects, and they are cute as all get-out. They swim so fluidly that they almost seem to be floating, but I suspect it takes a lot of strength to look so graceful. This painting has been a peaceful retreat during a rather hectic time.…
