Hope to see you there! September 17-18 2022 https://holistic-fairs.com/ #tarot #milkweek #asclepius

Saw Blade Commission
I was commissioned to paint three saw blades. Now relics, these antique saw blades were once very useful tools on the old ranch. The owner wanted to pass them on as individual works of art to her three children. For the first, I was to create a simple landscape of Devil's Tower, Wyoming's famous natural monument. For the second, the client requested Sundance Mountain to be in the background with the old family barn, two family collie dogs, and butterflies to symbolize her

Works of Wyoming Gallery
I’m excited to be a part of Works of Wyoming gallery in Laramie. It’s a great space for local artists. They also feature an online store which is perfect for art collectors who are interested in Wyoming artists, but can’t make it to Laramie to check out the wares. WoW is operated in conjunction with The Wyoming Women’s Business Council. The mission of the WWBC is to support women in business and artists in particular. If you're in Laramie, check it out at 300 S. 2nd St. On

Sunflower Mural at Mountain Phoenix
I had the pleasure of creating this Sunflower mural on behalf of the Morgan family, for the kindergarten class at Mountain Phoenix Community School in Wheat Ridge, CO. It is painted with enamel on reclaimed pressed tin and is located in the outdoor play area. Sunflowers are native to North America and have been cultivated for centuries by the earliest peoples of these lands. Each sunflower is as unique as the little learners playing around it!

Vintage Sign Repaint
I was commissioned by Flydragon Design in Cheyenne to repaint this cool old sign. The building used to be a liquor store called The Fix n' Mix. The owner/artist of Flydragon wanted to keep the ghost lettering of the original business. A new specially cut metal sign is intended to be affixed on top of the ghost lettering. The refreshed look will only incorporate the words "Drive In" from the old sign. This commission was definitely challenging due to the time constraints,

Rise of the Phoenix
I painted this for the Hope for Human Trafficking Victims art show at Flydragon Art Studio. It's sponsored by Zonta club of Cheyenne and focuses on bringing awareness to the human sex trafficking crisis happening in the U.S. and around the world. The Phoenix is symbolic for rebirth. The survivors of sex trafficking know better than anyone what it means to rise above the ashes and take flight ablaze with courage. https://www.flydragondesign.com/content/hope-human-traffickin

Most Beautiful Iris
A local couple asked me to paint a trio of botanicals on an old basement window from their home. Each flower represents a special person in their lives. I love how it turned out. The middle flower, edelweiss is not native to any region in which I have lived, therefore I did not have experience painting it. The rose is a botanical I come back to again and again. In my opinion, the iris is the show stopper. I am amazed how brilliantly the color shifts from shadow to sunli

Memory Eternal
This gilded mirror once hung above the buffet of the dining room in my grandmother's house. It was a small room full of dark wood, crystal, and cigarette smoke. Fantastic feasts were also enjoyed in that space. All day, she cooked delights from the old country, and the many would gather to enjoy her offerings. My favorite was avgolemono soup, a simple dish; and she always made it extra lemony for her granddaughters. After she passed away in 2006, the contents of her hous
