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.
A mountain mug in its natural habitat. I’ll never get over seeing my art in people`s homes; it makes my heart warm and fuzzy. 🥰
This is the `McCullough Gulch Road` mug, and the real McCullough Gulch Road lies just beyond the mountains in the background of this little video.
It`s not too early to start thinking about gifts for the tea drinker or overly caffeinated person in your life. Several paintings to choose from and you can personalize the interior and handle colors, too!

An honest, unedited behind-the-scenes look at the mayhem that erupts inside the van when rain arrives 3 hours before the forecast said it would, but I wasn`t ready to pack up the paints yet. 👩🏼🎨🤪🐶
I`ve been busily painting away these past couple of weeks. 👩🏼🎨
The second large commission is complete (I can`t share it with you yet - but soon!) and I`ve moved on to much smaller paintings, which are technically also many tiny commissions. 🙌🏼
I`m ecstatic to spend so many hours working on art, and even better, is knowing all of these paintings are headed to new homes! 🥳
How many faces do YOU see? 🤔
While these trees have obviously experienced some trauma along the way, they continue to grow strong and tall. I`m not expert, but my guess is these cankers are scars from an infestation of some sort.
Whatever the cause, they hypnotize me and my camera roll is filled with so many more images than this.
Autumn has always been my favorite season. I love when the air turns crisp and cozy sweatshirts get pulled out for chilly mornings and evenings. One sure sign of Autumn’s arrival is when aspen leaves turn a brilliant shade of gold.
In Breckenridge, CO, there’s a trail called ‘Aspen Alley,’ and it is an absolutely delightful stroll when the trees reach their peak colors. This painting is an homage to that magical trail.
This painting is now live in my shop! Head to my bio to check it out.
Sometimes the van feels like a clown car. 🤡
Loading and unloading this large painting was a slow and precarious process.
I was so worried about bashing it on everything - which happened despite my careful attempts - but thankfully I didn`t beat it up too badly.

Sometimes our morning walks turn into longer-than-expected adventures.
For example, on this walk, we accidentally found ourselves on a trail that took us up a steep elevation gain to a lovely mountain pass.
While some inclines caused me to stop and "take in the view," as I like to say (because that sounds nicer than "stop to gasp for air and question your life choices"), the views at the top were absolutely worth it.
We only shared the trail with a lone mountain goat, birds, and an onslaught of pikas, all sounding the alarm as Paco zigzagged across the terrain.
People often ask what inspires my paintings, and it is absolutely this.

I`ve been completely engrossed in painting a new commission. 👩🏼🎨
I can`t share any images of it yet, but here`s the blank panel I built for it. (not the most instagram-worthy pic, I know) 😅
Paco and I made a quick trip to Loveland, CO, so I could use some friends` wood shop again to build the panel.
It`s 3` x 5`, and I am having an absolute blast working with these larger sizes lately.
I can`t wait to share it with you all! 🥳
