Every medium I use, whether pastel, oil, or charcoal, has its own voice. Learning to speak each one fluently means letting go of control and embracing the unexpected. My creative process is grounded in curiosity, intuition, and a willingness to be surprised. That is where the real joy and growth begin.

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.
