Picture this...
You walk into your home or office and feel it instantly — calm, depth, and something quietly powerful that everyone who enters can sense. The moment someone steps into your space, they pause. They feel it. The energy, the story, the presence on your walls. our home doesn’t just look beautiful — it feels centered, alive, and unmistakably you. Every room you enter holds a quiet sense of peace — and every visitor feels it too.
Texture
Rich textures in her work bring the tactile beauty of nature to life, allowing viewers to almost feel the rugged coastlines and gentle waves.
Luminous Layers
Each painting is a symphony of luminous layers, creating a visual depth that draws the viewer into a world of serene beauty.
Mermaid's Reverie
Soft currents move beneath a quiet surface, where light filters through water and meets the rhythm of swaying seagrass below. Flecks of gold and textured bubbles create depth and movement, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness beneath the tide. This piece captures the hush of being underwater, where everything slows and the world feels suspended in calm.

Textured details emerge throughout the composition, suggesting mineral deposits, pebbled ground, and organic material shaped by time and motion. The resin enhances both depth and luminosity, allowing light to catch on raised elements and softer passages alike, shifting subtly as the viewer moves.
Inspired by the flowing waters of the Pacific Northwest, the painting balances movement with stillness, capturing a moment where water, earth, and texture coexist in quiet harmony. Abstract yet rooted in place, it invites contemplation of the slow, persistent forces that shape the landscape. $1,110
Mermaid's Reverie
12" wide x 36" high
This resin mixed media painting evokes the quiet movement of water as it passes through a natural landscape. Soft layers of misty blue and pale gray give way to flowing bands of green and teal, suggesting water drifting through submerged grasses or aquatic growth. The surface feels fluid and weightless, with gentle transitions that mirror the slow, continuous motion of a stream or tidal shallows.
Textured details rise subtly from the surface, catching light like air bubbles, suspended sediment, or droplets held momentarily in motion. Along the lower edge, deeper earth tones anchor the composition, grounding the flow and hinting at the riverbed or shoreline beneath the water’s surface.
Abstract and contemplative, this piece reflects the calm, restorative presence of flowing water found throughout the Pacific Northwest. It invites the viewer to slow down and observe the delicate interplay between movement, light, and the natural world. $432 SOLD
