This year, I had the incredible opportunity to create something truly special – a custom Father's Day gift that tells a story of adventure, family bonds, and the magic of shared experiences in nature.

There’s something sacred about the first cup of coffee in the morning. Not just the caffeine boost—though, let’s be honest, that’s a non-negotiable some days—but the ritual itself. The waiting, the pouring, the savoring. In our house, coffee isn’t just something we drink. It’s something we do. Our Morning Practice It starts with the beans. Every two weeks, my husband roasts them on the[...]
My favorite mug is one that I purchased probably 20 years ago. It has painted elephants all around the outside with decorative details on the handle. I’ve always loved elephants and objects that look like they come from the other side of the world. It’s no surprise that eventually this mug wore out, like all things do. It cracked down the entire side, leaking any liquid it held. Not ideal for a mug. I tried t[...]
Late last year, a dear friend's home in Steamboat was lost in a devastating fire. It was a place filled with love, warmth, and countless memories—a true heart of the community. I decided to create a custom home illustration as a gift for them to remember this special place. I knew this would be more than just a painting; it was a way to honor and preserve the spirit of their home. A Painting Full of Memories[...]

In recent years, the lake has been lower than usual, but its beauty is constant, dotted with little islands and surrounded by towering peaks. For me, the mountain[...]
There’s something about November skies in Colorado that stops me in my tracks. The sunsets and sunrises this time of year are unlike any other—blazing streaks of pink, orange, and blue that feel like nature’s last hurrah before winter fully sets in. I’ve always wondered if it’s the angle of the sun, the cooler temperatures, or maybe just the slower pace of November that allows me to notice them more. Perha[...]
My latest piece, A Mother’s Prayer, captures the quiet yet profound connection between a mother and her child, nestled in a meadow of wildflowers. This painting draws inspiration from the heartfelt photography of Janessa Parker and her journey to explore her Diné heritage. It reflects both the tenderness of motherhood and the deep spiritual threads that connect us to culture, land, and ancestry. It’s a piece ro[...]
