Celebration Paintings

I’m ready to get my easel back onto the plateau among the pear trees in this Oregon spring!

Hi y’all! I’ve been painting mountaintop ceremonies for fourteen years and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. This is the best gift I can give on your day…an archival portrait of your biggest moment of love. I’m taking fewer and more select bookings while I’ve taken on other endeavors but will pour my soul into the work and the inevitable friendship we will form during the planning process.

Sorry not sorry you’re not an artist that wishes to be among the artists and doesn’t respect us for what we bring

You and I met over twenty years ago and started this thing, but it wasn’t time yet. You left for China and I headed into the high desert country of New Mexico.
We had other lives to live, careers to begin and explore, people to love and care for, states to shift among. There was always this knowing, this sense of wonder, a longing and unfinished story. I’m honored and grateful that in spite of our own independent perceived successes and failures we have found each other and have built this thing we always knew was there.
I love you and it’s time the world knows it.

I have recently completed a children’s book which I have illustrated and written based on a residency in Addis Ababa. I will be dedicating this book to my gracious hosts and donating a large part of the proceeds to the rebuilding of at which is at the helm. This year has been a beginning and I am so ready for what 2025 will bring in collaborations and support across the globe letting art, music and love be the guiding forces.
