Making Connections: 27.5x31.5 inches: SOLD
If I place myself in the most complex lower right of the canvas where the blue rectangle sits, it seems to represent where I’m at - In the middle of it all. I can look at the past and makes sense of how things have connected, intersected and formed together as symbolized by how the lines and spaces connect beneath and around the blue. But the future (the pink and white above) is open, waiting. There are a few lines that signify the path ahead but little is clear. The space welcomes the mystery. I cannot completely control what is to come. But I’ll do my best to build this future one step at a time as I listen to wisdom, discernment and direction. Each step will help me put the past step in perspective.
Seeking Balance: 24x24 inches: SOLD
Possibility, represented with white, is connected to the plethora of color fields holding a story of building, transition, and change. Each block of pigment is strung together with lines indicative of our propensity to draw connections between all things as we process how to balance the many faucets of change.
Overview: 16x20 inches: $600
Focusing on the issues which weigh on us in the moment can often be our default setting. This painting invites us to see with an aerial view - an overview. Our current circumstances are only a part of our overall story. Seeing from above helps us understand the greater picture.
Progressive Balance: 24x24 inches: SOLD
During change, the climb ahead can seem daunting like ascending the steep face of a cliff. At times, the most formidable climb can also be the most transformative. In these moments, we have a choice to let challenge drive development.
Demarcation: 40x40 inches: SOLD
Demarcation is filled with horizontal lines and vertical junctions. The linear marks represent timelines while the vertical lines are symbolic of spiritual influence at clarifying moments. The horizontals reflect the reality of how today’s decisions emerge from yesterday’s experiences. When stepping back to take in the greater picture, we see a framework built over time. The chosen white and blue colors are meant to evoke tranquility and stability which arises when we realize how things come together in retrospect. Heavy with texture and layering, the painting notes how our lives have layers of complexity and textures of transition. The touches of warm colors are a nod to the tones that peek over the horizon during a sunrise and leave us with a feeling of comforting stillness and inspiration.
Retrospective: 15.75x15.75 inches: $325 with white frame
This past year was marked with growth, change, story and progress. There were many defining moments which opened opportunity or change. Courage accompanied each day and I can look back with gladness at what has unfolded.

Be Bold: SOLD
Be bold enough to color outside the lines. Let the boxes that define you overlap and change. Have courage to let the colors of your personality shine and grow and expand. When life is hard to understand, let those who love you help connect the dots of the bigger picture.

This series is a conversation about the process of taking circumstances that are unexpected and making what we can of them. Each new layer of paint connects with something underneath providing a new shape. These shapes represent the changes and shifts in our lives. As I drew lines between color fields I began to see how I build with whatever I’m given in life. Some of life is planned. Some of life is unexpected. And there are even days that can be tragic. But together they become a life being built. Our life experiences move together to form a unique story filled with connections.

Concentration: SOLD
Concentration is an abstract depiction of how our lives can hold times of intensity. We may feel that there is a concentration of activity (color) but there are surrounding spaces that also serve a purpose. One of those spaces is meant for rest as represented by the lower left field of white and the gray of the upper half of the artwork is symbolic of a place holder for what will come next in our lives. The bustle of current circumstances, the need to rest and the vision of the future exist together.
Aerial View: SOLD
This painting reminds me of an aerial photograph of a landscape. It is a view that often goes unseen and lends broad perspective. From above we can take in cultivated fields of boldness, gardens of joy, roads untraveled and open ground waiting for preparation. At surface level we see a glimpse of what lies ahead and that is enough. There is someone who sees the greater picture and in that reality, peace can be found.
Iowa Flint: SOLD
There's a place of serene perspective among the flint rocks that line a creek in southeast Iowa. The rocks remind us that life moves and nature keeps a record with lines and color.
