20" x 16" Acrylic On 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas Sides painted black Ready to hang You know that moment when a dog finally figures out the mirror isn’t a portal to another world—or another dog? No barking. No circling. Just a calm stare into the glass, as if to say, “Yep. That’s me. Still gorgeous!” What makes this moment fun is a background. The mirror doesn’t just show the dog—it reflects home. A mountain view and a comfy chair complete the scene. It’s a snapshot of the everyday, the ordinary, the real. This painting was inspired by my sculpture Up Close and Personal. It’s the same dog, just from the opposite perspective—which I found really fun and intriguing. It tells even more of the story: one about the small, funny, honest moments that make life with a dog (and a mirror) so memorable. -
One of my priorities is to travel to the wild places in the world. I've been lucky enough to visit the African continent several times. I remember the first time I saw a kudu in the wild. They are incredibly powerful animals with the most beautiful horns and markings. Somehow, seeing them always adds more magic to each trip. This is the first, of what I hope will be many, paintings of the incredible critters in the wild that inspire my love of animals. 18" x 6" Signed limited edition Giclee print On 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas Ready to hang Edition limited to 50 Please contact me for international shipping rates -
12" x 9" Mixed media including collage 140# watercolor paper Professionally framed - Floated on off white mat in 1" black frame, UV protection glass - Framed size- 18.5" x 15.5" Ready to hang Sometimes, I just need to live with and love a painting for a while—and "In the Doghouse" is one of those pieces. It reflects where I was in my creative journey back in 2019… yes, 2019! Now, it's time to let this piece meet up with someone new who can enjoy it as much as I have. If you're someone who loves following an artist's evolution, this painting offers a glimpse into that moment in time and invites you to celebrate the process right alongside me. This pup? He loves being home—safe and content in his own space. With one brown eye and one blue, he sees the world just a bit differently. Some days are made for adventure. Others are meant for curling up where you can let your hair down and just be comfortably, completely you. -
6" x 6" x 22" Found objects, wire, wood and Apoxie Sculpt
This toothy reptile sculpture was crafted from an old, roughly hewn wooden spoon, the remnants of a child’s toy dinosaur, and a candle holder. He was inspired by a recent trip to Botswana, where we spotted several crocodiles lounging in the Okavango Delta. I find them fascinating and frightening at the same time.
What I love most about nature is the unexpected relationships. This dangerous creature rests on the shoreline, mouth wide open, inviting the fearless Egyptian Plover to hop right in and clean his teeth—trust and survival at work.

21" x 14" x 14 Repurposed objects, wire, beads, fabric and epoxy sculpt Ready to display As technology plays an ever-increasing role in our daily lives — especially with AI — there's a mixture of hope and fear. This sculpture, Roz and Ozzie, explores that reality and represents the irreplaceable connections that make life worthwhile. Created from a variety of recycled materials, this 3D sculpture brings to life Roz, the well-worn robot, and her loyal companion, Ozzie — a bond built on trust and love. This is one of my interactive pieces, inviting you to become part of the story. Roz’s head is removable, revealing a wire basket where you can add your own collection of treasures. Let's collaborate — weaving our stories together and creating something even more meaningful. I love that Roz is holding her beloved dog and covered with a collection of unexpected attachments that bring her quirky personality to life. -

15" x 30" Mixed media on 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas Ready to hang It may feel safer to stand on the shore, but we'll never realize our dreams unless we are willing to take the risk and set sail. The boat was created from letters and documents from the mid-1800's gifted to me by a friend who asked that I give them new life in my work. A pressed flower was in one of the letters and the petals have been collaged onto the sail. Our history gives us the foundation to move forward to the next adventure.
