This painting is painted on the back of my first snowboard. This is symbolic because of the freedom that snowboarding gives me, a new perspective on life, one which places emphasis on living in the present. Through this new found freedom I have been able to see some of my systems at the foundation of my society in a new light. This painting illuminates my new perspective.

This painting is inspired by thoughts of life after man. What life will look like when nature is left to its devices on the planet and the recovery that will surely ensue. It is a more hopeful way of looking at the end! The beauty that will sprout up in the face of destruction.

This painting is looking at the acidification of our oceans and the toll that it is taking on the entire ecosystem. This painting took on some new meaning with the Gulf oil spill spewing thousands of barrels each day into the delicate gulf environment. Despite its gloomy message, this painting is captivating on any wall. It draws the viewer in. Maybe you can start to shift some paradigms within your own home or community through art. Enjoy!

Slate Creek



Supplies Used: Wood Frame, canvas, acrylic paint, and staples
Landscape
Dimensions: ~ 33"X54"
Desired Compensation(open for discussion, trade?):sold

This landscape was inspired by a photo that my boyfriend had of Slate Creek basin he took on a backpacking trip. I ended up adding some mountains, and snow, but he still says when he looks at it he is reminded of that basin. I love the flow of this painting. From the open sky to the running stream. It gives any space the feeling of being in a wide open mountain basin.
