This is my home. Staring at the Flowery Divide slope of the Cashmere hills from my art studio for almost 20 years now is one of my favorite views on earth! So thankful for four seasons of orchards and growth, death, and change to contemplate and watch cycle over and over. I never tire of the age old lessons found in this scene and these organic changes. Every painted sky is different and I find it a privilege to create my own in reflection of this natural beauty.

This painting is from the Northwest series done in mixed media, which were created as a type of ‘living prayer’ for the places around the valley I grew up in, as well as other Northwest destinations that have had special meaning and are close to my heart. Mountains have always fascinated me with the strength and beauty they represent and inspire me to create. I hope this series creates a connection for you with the peace and beauty of this part of the Northwest I call home.
