My newest piece,
Title: Unbound
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 36 x 48

Inspired by the spirit of protected wild horses, this painting explores freedom, resilience, and the quiet strength of forward movement.

A strong focal piece good for bringing warmth, strength, and quiet presence to your space.

Meet my latest addition to my bold woman series.
This is “A Worriers Strength”

The left side reflects what she has been through. The right shows the strength she carries forward. We are all shaped by the battles we face.

This painting is designed for spaces that value depth, strength, and intention. It works especially well in a master bedroom, private office, or art-focused living space where its quiet intensity can be appreciated. The bold contrast and selective color create a focal point without overwhelming the room. A piece for collectors who connect with art that carries both presence and meaning.

This is my newest piece. It is titled Powerful Restraint. This work is a 24x 36 oil on canvas . It is a 2 inch thick canvas which does not require a frame. Hung as is for a modern look.

This piece explores restraint as a form of strong personal boundaries. Through looseness, selective clarity and obscured vision the figure maintains control over what is revealed and what remains private.  Gesture and color carry presence without narrative, inviting the viewer to pause and consider restraint as a deliberate and powerful choice. 

Here is my newest painting
Majestic Resolve”
Oil on Canvas
24x24

A bold, unwavering bald eagle emerges against a swirling backdrop of red, white, and blue. The piercing golden eye captures strength, pride, and quiet determination. This piece celebrates resilience, American spirit, and the calm confidence of a true guardian.

If you are looking for one of a kind, original Christmas gift, please reach out to me. This piece is available and waiting for its forever home .

This painting was created in memory of a beloved horse who had recently passed away. I wanted to capture that tender, wordless bond between a girl and her horse — the kind of connection that doesn’t fade, even after loss. My hope is that when she looks at this painting, she feels the same peace, love, and gratitude that her horse gave her every day.

✨ Donating for a Cause ✨

I’m honored to donate my newest original oil painting to support Marwood Nursing and Rehab through their Men and Women That Cook charity event.

“Owl if the Tides” was inspired by the calm strength of nature—the wisdom of the owl, the steady rhythm of the ocean, and the beauty that comes with life’s changing tides.

All proceeds from the winning bid will help provide comfort, care, and enrichment for our local seniors.

Even if you can’t attend the event tomorrow, August 13, 2025, I’d love your help in spreading the word about this wonderful cause and the important work Marwood Nursing and Rehab does for our community. 💙

Wow 🤯 This morning I had some INCREDIBLE news shared with me in regard to my wolf painting and I am so estatic to share that news with you!

My wolf painting has been featured in the St Clair Area View! The article pertains to the 54th annual St Clair Art Fair that I participated in a few weeks ago. It begins on page 13 and is continued on to page 20 where a photo of my painting is shown.

To say how absolutely honored I am is an understatement. The amount of support I continue to receive from friends, family, colleagues, and every one who has bought a painting from me is truly remarkable. THANK YOU 🙏

Would you like a custom sign for your hangout space in your yard? My good friend Jim contacted me to create a special piece for lounge space by the pool in his back yard and I had so much fun with this 🦜 Send me a message to get put on my schedule and let’s create something together! 🎨

🇺🇸 Now that this has been given to its rightful owner I am so very excited to share this painting with you all! This was a commissioned painting for a Father’s Day gift. The young lady who contacted me about this gift was inspired by a previous eagle painting I had done and wanted something similar and this is what I came up with! 🇺🇸 Thank you to Kortney Kempa for trusting me with this gift for your dad ❤️🤍💙
