Animals have a way of sensing our energy, even when we’re not fully present with ourselves. In this post, I share why that unseen connection inspires my work, how animals can help us return to the moment, and what I hope people feel when they look into the eyes of a painting.

The Hudson Valley isn’t just my home, it’s my muse. Through quiet trails, golden trees, and mirrored lakes, I find inspiration in the stillness of everyday beauty. In each landscape painting, I aim to share not just a place, but a feeling: of memory, peace, and the kind of connection that only home can bring.

Behind every pet portrait I create is a deeper mission: to give back. A portion of each sale supports animal-related charities, often chosen to reflect the subject’s unique story. Whether it’s honoring a therapy dog, supporting rescue organizations, or funding canine cancer research, each painting becomes part of something bigger—a tribute with heart, purpose, and lasting impact.
