This new collection was born from observing.
​
From mornings spent quietly watching the Montana sky shift outside my window—and afternoons hanging out with my dogs in the yard - and hiking around our magical forests. But more than that, it came from watching the shifts within myself.

Emotional Landscapes isn’t about scenery. It’s about soul.

These paintings are visual reflections—of contrast, of clarity, of becoming. A study in light and mood, color and emotion. A mirror of the internal landscapes we carry, and the ever-changing skies we try to name with words.

This work is deeply personal, yet universally resonant.

It’s about how we feel.
How we evolve.
How we hold beauty and complexity at once.

Each piece was created to honor that moment of stillness before change—the tender space between awareness and transformation. And while the medium is paint, the message is presence.

My artistic process is always an extension of my inner work. This collection, like so much of what I now create, reflects a full-circle return—where beauty, emotion, and subtle alignment are not separate, but part of one seamless whole.

If you’ve been walking the delicate line between softness and strength, expansion and stillness--this work speaks to that space.

And if you’re curious about how I blend this vision into spaces, stories, and life itself, you’re always welcome to explore my private offerings and blog. It’s all connected.
​
Because ultimately, this isn’t just art—it’s a way of seeing, living, and becoming.

This exhibition is more than my return to the art world—it symbolizes my own transformation. Designing Happiness: One Space at a Time marks the visible expression of my journey to harmonize my inner and outer worlds through the power of intentional beauty and profound alignment.

Through layers of encaustic wax, oil paint, and mixed media, this curated selection of works captures my journey toward harmonizing the shadows and light of my past and present. Each piece is intentionally crafted to transform personal and inherited stories into expressions of resilience, depth, and beauty.

This collection, both a re-entrance and a realignment, is a celebration of turning life’s complexities into visual poetry. It’s about elevating existence into an art form, where each creation resonates with intention and insight—a transformation I also extend to creators, visionaries, and entrepreneurs seeking to align their world with their highest vision and fullest potential.

My art has always mirrored my vision and inner journey, but now, it carries an even deeper intention—to capture the magic not in the destination, but in the becoming.
This exhibition is an invitation to see the world through a lens of beauty and transformation, where thought leadership is visually expressed and profoundly felt.
