A nomadic Artist, living and creating in a self-converted van, I paint in a jubilant riot of color to harness the splendor of landscapes through which I travel.
I didn`t realize just how much I`d use the van`s roof rack for stargazing. π€©
There`s a perfect Lisa-sized space in front of the solar panels where I can lay and stare up into the vast night sky. On chilly nights, I drag my sleeping bag up with me and snuggle in for cozy comfort as I watch satellites and shooting stars whiz by.
These little paintings were inspired by those quiet moments. Starry skies over mountains and tall trees silhouetted against the bright night sky.
I`ve just added this collection to my shop. DM if you want to add a little starry magic to your life. π

Golden hour walks are my favorite. I`ve missed these quiet moments, but they`re once again part of our daily routine and I couldn`t be happier.
I took a pause from vanlife and spent a couple months with my family. That wasnβt the plan, of course, but thatβs what happened.
Most of the time was spent working on various projects around my childhood home, but I did manage to squeeze a few fun things into the mix as well. I was able to attend my nieceβs wedding, and I reconnected with people I hadnβt seen in years β some I hadnβt seen in decades!
This is a random photo dump of my time there. Paco spent most of his days on the sofa, and discovered that cow feed pellets make good snacks. My days were filled with chores, cows, manual labor, and I did a little tinkering on the van.
Iβm grateful for the extended stay and for all it allowed me to do for my parents while there.
Whatβs in store for us next? Thatβs a good question. Iβll let you know when Iβve got an answer.
Hard to believe this handsome good boy has been in my life for 8 years now. I`m so grateful he found me and for all the wonderful memories we`ve shared. ππ₯Ή
Happy Gotcha Day, Paco. ππΎ

I`ve been quiet both on social media and in real life. It`s that time of year, where I travel home for the holidays to spend my time with family and less time on my phone.
Several people have reached out since I haven`t posted in a while, and have fallen silent in other areas, so I wanted to assure everyone that Paco and I are healthy, and all is well. π₯°
Wishing each and every one of you a calm and peaceful holiday season too. ππ

Not every campsite is glamorous or scenic.
Sometimes, they look like a this - tucked into the far back corner of a Walmart parking lot.
For the first two years in the van, I avoided parking lots. Then a day arrived where that was the only option and I realized they aren`t as bad as I`d imagined. I don`t seek them out, but I`m no longer opposed to the idea.
@walmart, @crackerbarrel, @cabelas - they`re all great options when I`m beelining it along interstates from one place to another.
This particular location was in a rural town in the Texas panhandle where camp options are slim. It was a quiet night, we both slept great, and there was a large hay field across the road for Paco`s morning walk.
Yes, there was also a car wash nearby, but the 27Β° morning changed my mind on that. π
