There is nothing more beautiful than God’s creation of our natural surroundings. Landscapes of color in perfect harmony created by the individual beauty of trees, grasses, and flowers, highlighted by the rising and setting sun provide us with a sense of hope and joy. So much of our busy lives are surrounded by neutrals, and grays we don’t often take the time to stop and really look at our surroundings. My paintings are created with intention to break this monotony and bring the beauty of the outdoors into our homes. I capture landscapes, birds, and flowers in bold colors to invoke excitement and happiness in the viewer in the hopes their joy will transcend into their daily lives making our world a kinder, happier place.
