This painting of Alpine Lake Ingalls between Cle Elem and Blewett Pass is one of my favorite places to hike in the Northwest. Summer and FAll are gorgeous times to visit this out of the way, but well known, hike beginning at the Esmerelda Basin. It was a privilege to finally paint! I hope to create more in this iconic series of lakes and northwest mountain peaks and communicate some of the emotion and beauty of this area for nature lovers and hikers.

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.
