$245.00

Part of the Perseverance Grows Wings collection, this expressive butterfly painting celebrates transformation, resilience, and the courage to spread your wings to become who you are meant to be.

Inspired by my memories of planting a butterfly garden with my daughter and raising Monarch caterpillars, each butterfly in this collection represents more than beauty. It is a reminder of the remarkable journey from one stage of life to the next, and the patience, growth, and perseverance that happens along the way.

A unique blending of gold and violet brings the butterfly to life. These paintings are bold enough to stand alone, and become a statement when grouped together.

Dreamer

$185.00

Soft whites, blush pinks, warm golden tones, and touches of chartreuse come together to create an atmosphere that feels whimsical and full of possibility. The expressive flowers dance against a muted background, evoking a feeling of getting lost in a world of your own.

Bold brushstrokes and layered texture provide dimension to this original acrylic floral painting.

At just 12" x 12", Dreamer proves that a painting doesn't have to be large to make an impression. Its extra-deep canvas adds dimension and presence, allowing the artwork to stand out beautifully on its own, with or without a frame.

Dreamer brings a touch of whimsy, color, and imaginative energy to any space.

A Quiet Kind of Wild 2

$245.00

A Quiet Kind of Wild 2 explores the beauty of nature allowed to be itself; untamed, imperfect, and unassuming. The flowers emerge with loose gestures, layered texture, and spontaneous marks creating a sense of movement without being overwhelming

There is a tension here between softness and wildness, a reminder that not everything beautiful has to demand attention. Sometimes wildness is subtle. Sometimes it whispers rather than shouts.

This piece is an invitation to slow down, look closely, and find beauty in the unexpected.

Make Your Mark

$2,495.00

Original Acrylic & Charcoal Painting

Custom framed in a textured wooden frame in deep iron ore hues

Framed size 48 × 37

"Make Your Mark" embodies the spirit of the Great White Egret. Patience almost always pays off, and nothing is a better example than the Great White Egret. Egrets are known for their hunting patience; gracefully wading through the marshy shores and wetlands as they search for fish. They normally fly slowly and gracefully but can become powerful with just a few flaps of their majestic wings.

This painting began as a series of simple, experimental marks driven only by curiosity. With each layer, a quiet energy emerged, though at times it felt too chaotic and was softened with additional layers. The piece seemed to patiently whisper, “not yet.” While working on several small egret paintings, I glanced at this unfinished canvas and suddenly knew what it needed: a bird. In that moment, Make Your Mark was born.

Treasure Hunt

from $50.00

“Treasure Hunt” is a 12×12 original mixed media painting created on a cradled wood panel and framed in natural wood. Released as part of the Don’t Trash Me Collection, this piece pairs artistry with sustainability, incorporating bits of upcycled glass and aluminum to bring this hummingbird to life.

This whimsical hummingbird isn’t just looking for lunch—it’s found hidden gems in the most unexpected places. Created with bits of upcycled glass and aluminum cans from the Lakes of LSU, its shimmering feathers prove that beauty can be found in what we toss away. A little sparkle, a little sass, and a whole lot of heart—this little guy is on a Treasure Hunt.

Bright, textural, and full of personality, this piece is perfect for collectors who love nature-inspired artwork, eco-friendly art practices, and vibrant mixed media detail.

Singing the Blues

from $50.00

“Singing the Blues” is an 18×24 original mixed media painting featuring a stately blue heron rendered in layered brushwork, soft organic textures, and touches of salvaged blue glass gathered from University Lake at LSU. Gentle greens, misty neutrals, and expressive splashes of blue create a serene yet poignant atmosphere.

Singing the Blues features a stately blue heron brought to life with bits of blue glass salvaged from University Lake at LSU. This piece expresses the irony of the beauty of our local wildlife—and the unexpected poetic relationship with pollution. Sometimes the blues really do sing.

As Release #10 in the Don’t Trash Me Series, this piece is both a celebration of Louisiana wildlife and a reminder of our responsibility to protect it.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate nature-inspired abstract realism, environmentally conscious art, and work that blends beauty with meaning.

Drink It All In

from $50.00

“Drink It All In” is a 24" x 24" mixed media painting that immerses you in the lush, atmospheric quiet of Louisiana wetlands. Soft layers of greens, blues, violets, and earthy neutrals create a mist-filled forest where light filters through branches and calm water reflects hidden colors. Three graceful white birds perch on a fallen limb, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness and reflection.

This painting is Release #6 in the Don’t Trash Me Series, a body of work created using salvaged and up-cycled materials to bring attention to the fragile beauty of our local environment. Rich texture, translucent layering, and delicate wildlife details create a sense of serenity — a reminder to slow down, observe, and “drink in” the quiet wonder of the natural world.

Framed in a natural wood gallery-style frame (26" x 26") or available unframed on a cradled wood panel, this piece makes a striking statement in any home. Perfect for collectors who appreciate ethereal landscapes, meaningful eco-inspired art, and contemporary mixed media work with depth and intention.
