Walking the Trail
Walking the Trail
Walking the Trail was inspired by my love of being surrounded by nature and the peaceful feeling that comes from taking a quiet walk through the woods.
As I painted this piece, I wanted to capture more than the trees, colors, and details of the landscape. I wanted to capture that feeling of stepping onto a trail and leaving the distractions of everyday life behind. There is a quietness in nature that allows me to slow down, breathe, observe, and appreciate the beauty around me.
My faith is also a meaningful part of my work. When I look at the beauty and detail found in nature, I am reminded of God’s incredible creation and have a deep sense of gratitude. I hope that feeling is reflected in this painting.
With Walking the Trail, my hope is that you can almost imagine yourself there—taking that peaceful walk, noticing the beauty along the way, and enjoying a moment of stillness.
I hope this painting brings a sense of peace, inspiration, and wonder into your space and reminds you to slow down and appreciate the beauty that God has placed around us.

Lake Life
This painting was inspired by the quiet beauty and peacefulness of life near the water. I was drawn to the way the geese gracefully move across the calm surface of the lake and how the stillness of the scene creates such a sense of peace.
As I painted this piece, I wanted to capture more than just a beautiful lake scene. I wanted to capture that feeling of stopping for a moment and simply taking in what is before you—the calm water, the gentle movement of the geese, and the peaceful atmosphere that surrounds them.
Nature continually reminds me of the beauty of God’s creation, and painting these moments gives me an opportunity to slow down, observe, and express my gratitude for what I see.
My hope is that this painting brings a sense of calm and serenity into your home. Whether you have a special connection to the lake or simply enjoy the peaceful beauty of nature, I hope this piece gives you a place to pause, reflect, and enjoy a quiet moment.

Sunsetting Sky over Tennessee
Some sunsets stay with you long after the sun has disappeared.
This painting was inspired by the warmth and peacefulness I feel when watching a Tennessee sunset unfold over the mountains. There is something special about those summer evenings—the golden light, the rich colors in the sky, and the quiet stillness that seems to settle over everything. I wanted to capture that feeling on canvas and create a piece that would bring a little of that peace into your home.
As I painted Tennessee Sunset, I found myself drawn to the way the evening light transforms the landscape. Every brushstroke was a way of holding onto that fleeting moment when everything feels warm, beautiful, and still.
This original oil painting measures 20” x 16” and is stretched on canvas. My hope is that when you look at it, you feel what I felt while creating it—a sense of calm, warmth, and perhaps a little longing for those beautiful Tennessee evenings.
Whether you have your own memories of Tennessee or simply love the beauty of a mountain sunset, I hope this painting brings you a moment of peace every time you see it.

### Summer Storms
There is something about a summer storm that has always captured my attention—the way the light changes, the stillness before the rain, and the feeling that the entire landscape is holding its breath.
*Summer Storms* was inspired by that dramatic moment when a storm begins to gather in the distance, while the warmth of the summer sun still shines across the field. I loved the contrast between the golden light falling across the overgrown grasses and the deep, brooding clouds building along the horizon. There is both beauty and power in that moment, and I wanted to capture the feeling of standing there and watching nature slowly transform before you.
As I painted this piece, I focused on the changing light, rich colors, and movement within the landscape—the wild grasses, the glowing field, and those heavy clouds promising a storm just beyond the horizon. The painting became less about simply depicting a landscape and more about capturing that feeling of awe I experience when nature reminds us just how powerful and beautiful it can be.
Measuring 24” x 36” and painted in oil on stretched canvas, *Summer Storms*is an original work created to bring that sense of anticipation, energy, and wonder into your home.
I hope this painting invites you to pause for a moment and imagine yourself standing in that field, feeling the warm summer air and watching the storm roll in.

Desert Sands
There is a certain kind of beauty found in wide-open places—where the landscape stretches toward the horizon, the light feels endless, and a simple path invites you to keep going.
*Desert Sands* was inspired by that feeling of standing in a vast, sun-warmed landscape and taking in all that surrounds you. I was drawn to the contrast between the soft, pale sands in the foreground, the warm earthy tones of the distant hills, and the cool blues of the sky and mountains beyond. The winding path became an important part of the painting for me. It gives the viewer somewhere to enter the scene and, for a moment, imagine themselves walking through it.
I wanted to capture more than the appearance of the desert. I wanted to capture the **feeling of it—the stillness, the warmth, the solitude, and the sense of possibility that comes with looking toward an open horizon.**
The deeper colors and textured brushwork throughout the landscape add a sense of movement and life, while the expansive sky creates a feeling of space and freedom.
*Desert Sands* is an original oil painting created for those who are drawn to the quiet beauty of nature and the places that make us slow down and simply look.
My hope is that each time you see this painting, you discover something new in the landscape—and perhaps feel that same invitation to follow the path a little farther.

Sunset Desert
There are sunsets that simply mark the end of a day, and then there are sunsets that stop you in your tracks.
*Desert Sunset* was inspired by the incredible beauty and drama of the desert at the close of day. I was drawn to the way the last light transforms everything it touches—the mountains glowing against a brilliant sky, the warm desert earth, and the unexpected beauty of the plants and wildflowers that thrive in such a rugged landscape.
The colors in this painting are intentionally bold and expressive. Deep magentas and purples mingle with fiery oranges and glowing golds, creating a sky that feels almost otherworldly. Below, the desert comes alive with layers of texture, native plants, cacti, and delicate blooms—a reminder that even in the harshest landscapes, there is incredible beauty and life.
As I painted this piece, I wanted to capture that moment of wonder I feel when nature puts on a display so beautiful that it is impossible not to pause and take it in. **Desert Sunset** is not simply a painting of a place; it is my attempt to hold onto that feeling of standing beneath an expansive sky and witnessing the last light of the day.
I hope this piece brings that same sense of **warmth, wonder, and quiet awe** into your home—and reminds you to slow down and notice the beautiful moments that are often gone as quickly as they arrive.

IMG_1957 3.jpg
+Evening Buys+ was inspired by the beauty and warmth of an African sunset as women make their way home from the market. I was drawn to the feeling of community and movement within the scene, but also to the peacefulness of the evening. The warm glow of the setting sun seems to soften the landscape and bring everything together in a beautiful harmony.
As I painted this piece, I wanted to capture more than a particular place or moment. I wanted to convey the feeling of **coming home at the end of a long day**—that familiar sense of belonging, connection, and peace.
The rich colors and warm light allowed me to explore the beauty of the African landscape while bringing the figures and their journey to life. There is a quiet story unfolding in this painting, and I hope each viewer can find their own connection to it.
Measuring 28” x 22” and painted in oil on stretched canvas, **African Evening** is an original work that celebrates the warmth, beauty, and everyday moments that make a place—and its people—so memorable.
My hope is that when you spend time with this painting, you feel the warmth of the evening sun, hear the quiet movement of the journey home, and experience a little of the peace I felt while creating it.

Fisherman's Cove
There are certain places that seem to slow time—a quiet shoreline, still water, and the gentle rhythm of a fishing day unfolding without hurry. *Fisherman’s Cove** was inspired by that feeling of peace and simplicity.
As I painted this scene, I wanted to capture the calm I imagine along the water’s edge—the quiet atmosphere of the cove, the soft movement of the water, and the feeling of being surrounded by nothing but sky, shoreline, and the peaceful rhythm of the sea.
I was especially drawn to the way the deeper colors of the water and landscape create a sense of depth and stillness. Through my brushwork, I wanted to preserve that fleeting feeling of standing along the shore and simply taking a moment to breathe and appreciate the beauty around you.
Measuring **36” x 24”**, this original oil painting is created on stretched canvas. *Fisherman’s Cove* is a reflection of my love for peaceful places and the simple beauty found in nature.
My hope is that this painting brings a little of that same tranquility into your space—that whenever you look at it, you can imagine yourself beside the water, listening to the gentle sounds of the cove and letting the rest of the world grow quiet for a while.

Sunset, Teal Skies
I painted this piece during a time when I found myself drawn to the beauty that exists between darkness and light. The sky felt especially meaningful to me—the deep blues and heavy clouds reflecting moments of uncertainty, while the warm colors along the horizon reminded me that there is always light waiting beyond the storm.
As I worked on this painting, I wanted to capture that quiet feeling of standing still and watching the sky change. The colors came together almost like a memory: dramatic, emotional, but also peaceful. There is something comforting to me about the way a storm can transform the landscape and reveal colors you might not notice on an ordinary day.
This painting is my reminder that difficult moments can hold their own kind of beauty, and that even when the sky feels heavy, there is always something beautiful waiting on the horizon.

Golden Sunset
I created this painting to capture one of those quiet moments when the day seems to pause and the landscape is transformed by the setting sun. The rich golden and amber tones of the sky create a warm, glowing atmosphere, while the silhouettes of the trees stand in contrast, giving the scene a sense of strength and stillness.
I wanted the painting to evoke the feeling of being there in person—watching the sun slowly disappear beyond the horizon, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of nature. Working in oils allowed me to build the warmth and depth of the sky through layers of color, while using darker, expressive shapes for the trees to create the dramatic silhouette.
For me, this piece is about *peace, beauty, and the simple wonder of a sunset*—a reminder to slow down and appreciate those fleeting moments that nature gives us.

Sunset Dock
There is something incredibly peaceful to me about being near the water as the day begins to come to an end. I painted Sunset Dock to capture that feeling—the quiet stillness, the soft evening light, and the sense of being completely present in the moment.
The purple hues of the sunset were especially important to me. I wanted to capture the way the fading light seems to soften everything around it, creating a peaceful little world where time feels like it has slowed down. The dock leading out across the water invites you to imagine yourself standing there, taking in the last light of the day and simply enjoying the quiet.
This painting is a reflection of my love for those peaceful moments in nature—the ones that stay with you long after the sun has gone down. My hope is that when you look at Sunset Dock, you feel a little of that same calm and find your own moment of escape within it.

Evening Passage
I created this painting to capture the quiet magic of an African sunset—a moment when the landscape seems to slow down as the day gives way to evening.
The magnificent tree stands as the centerpiece of the scene, its strong silhouette reaching across the glowing sky. Beneath it, the elephants make their way through the fading light, creating a feeling of movement and connection with the land. I was drawn to the contrast between the deep, almost black silhouettes and the rich reds, oranges, and golden yellows of the setting sun.
Painting this scene in oils allowed me to build the warmth and intensity of the sunset layer by layer. I wanted the colors to feel almost as though the sky itself were glowing, while the silhouettes remained bold and peaceful against it.
For me, this painting represents the beauty of nature, the strength of the African landscape, and the peaceful passage from one day into the next. I hope it gives the viewer a moment to pause, breathe, and imagine themselves standing there, watching these magnificent animals disappear into the warmth of the evening.

Sunset Sails
I created Sunset Sails to capture that peaceful feeling of being surrounded by water as the day slowly comes to an end. There is something incredibly calming about watching a sailboat move quietly across the water while the last warmth of the sun fills the sky.
Through the rich layers of warm color and expressive oil brushwork, I wanted to capture more than just a beautiful sunset. I wanted to capture a feeling—the sense of freedom, stillness, and escape that comes with being out on the open water.
This painting reminds me to slow down and appreciate those fleeting moments when everything feels peaceful and unhurried. The glowing sky, gentle water, and distant sails invite the viewer to pause for a moment and imagine themselves there, enjoying the quiet beauty of the evening.

Twilight Perch
There is something deeply peaceful about watching the day come to an end. I captured this moment as the setting sun transformed the water into a sea of gold, while the silhouettes of the birds and weathered trees stood quietly against the fading sky.
What drew me to this scene was the contrast between movement and stillness—the birds resting on the branches, the gentle ripples across the water, and the sky slowly changing from brilliant orange to soft twilight. For me, this photograph is about pausing long enough to appreciate a moment that will never look exactly the same again.
I hope when you look at this image, you feel some of the quiet I felt while painting—a sense of peace, freedom, and connection with nature. It reminds me that some of the most beautiful moments don't ask for our attention; we simply have to be present enough to notice them.

Sunset Beach
I created _Sunset Beach_ to capture the peaceful beauty of that special moment when the sun begins to disappear beyond the horizon and the ocean is bathed in its final warm glow.
There is something about a sunset over the water that always draws me in. The changing colors, the quiet movement of the ocean, and the feeling that the day is slowly coming to rest create a sense of peace that I wanted to bring to life through my oils.
I used rich, vibrant layers of color and expressive brushwork to capture the warmth and atmosphere of the evening. Rather than simply painting a sunset, I wanted to capture the **feeling of standing at the shoreline, breathing in the ocean air, and watching the last light of the day unfold before you**.
For me, this painting is a reminder to slow down and appreciate the beauty in those simple, fleeting moments. I hope _Sunset Beach_ brings a little of that same warmth, serenity, and sense of escape into your home.

Vibrant Sunset
This painting was inspired by one of those quiet moments in nature that makes you stop and simply take it all in. I wanted to capture the beauty of the Tennessee mountains as the sun slowly slipped toward the horizon, filling the sky with layers of luminous *blues and golden yellows*.
The *silhouette of the trees* became an important part of the painting for me. Its dark, graceful form stands quietly against the glowing sky, creating a beautiful contrast between light and shadow. I love the way the deep blues meet the warmth of the yellow sunlight, creating a feeling that is both peaceful and dramatic.
As I painted this scene, I found myself thinking about how quickly these moments pass. The changing colors, the stillness of the landscape, and the simple silhouette of a tree all came together to create a moment I wanted to preserve on canvas.

The Sun Between the Thorns
I created The Sun Between the Thorns as a reflection on finding light in the middle of difficult or uncertain moments. As I painted, I was drawn to the contrast between the warm, glowing sunset and the dark, tangled silhouettes of the branches and thorns surrounding it.
The sun became the heart of the painting for me. Even though it is slowly disappearing beyond the horizon, it continues to shine through the branches, creating a quiet sense of hope and perseverance. The birds resting among the branches add another layer of stillness, as though they are pausing to take in the same final light of the day.
I used rich shades of burnt orange, amber, gold, and deep black to create the feeling of a sunset that is both beautiful and mysterious. The darker foreground represents the challenges and shadows we sometimes encounter, while the light beyond them reminds me that there is always something beautiful waiting on the other side.
This piece is very personal to me because I see it as more than a sunset. I see it as a reminder that even when life feels surrounded by thorns, there can still be light shining through.

Silent Companions
I created _Silent Companions_ from my deep appreciation for the quiet beauty and powerful presence of the African landscape. I wanted to capture a moment that feels almost timeless—the sun beginning to settle, the sky glowing in layers of warm oranges and golds, and two elephants moving peacefully through the landscape.
The elephants are the heart of this painting for me. There is something deeply moving about seeing them together, sharing the same path beneath the evening sky. I chose to paint them as silhouettes against the warm glow of the sunset because I wanted their presence to feel strong yet peaceful, almost as though they are simply passing through a moment of stillness.
The large tree reaching across the right side of the painting became an important part of the composition as well. Its broad branches seem to frame the landscape and create a feeling of protection, while the darker foreground draws the eye toward the elephants and the fading light beyond them.
I used rich *burnt oranges, golden yellows, earthy browns, and deep shadows* to create the warmth and atmosphere of an African evening. For me, the colors represent more than a sunset—they capture the feeling of being surrounded by nature and witnessing something beautiful without needing to disturb the moment.
*This painting is my personal reflection on companionship, strength, and the quiet journey we share through life. *I hope when you look at _Silent Companions_, you feel the same sense of peace and wonder that I felt while bringing this scene to life in oil.

Catwalk
I created Catwalk to capture the quiet confidence and undeniable presence of a tiger moving through a winter landscape. There is something captivating about watching such a powerful animal surrounded by the stillness of snow, and I wanted to bring that feeling into this painting.
As I worked on this piece, I imagined the tiger moving effortlessly through its environment—focused, graceful, and completely at home in the wild. The snowy landscape creates a beautiful contrast against the warmth and richness of the tiger’s coat, allowing its strength and character to become the focal point.
I was especially drawn to the way the cool whites and subtle blues of the snow contrast with the golden tones, deep shadows, and bold markings of the tiger. I wanted the scene to feel peaceful while still carrying a sense of movement and energy.
Painted in oil on 48" x 36" stretched canvas, Catwalk is my interpretation of a fleeting moment in the wild—a moment where strength, beauty, and solitude come together.
For me, this painting is about confidence, grace, and the freedom of walking your own path. I hope Catwalk brings a little of that wild spirit into your space and invites you to pause and experience the beauty of the moment.

Eye of the Panther
I created _Cat Eyes_ because I wanted to capture more than the beauty of this magnificent animal—I wanted to capture the feeling of being completely drawn into its presence. There is something powerful and mysterious about a cat’s eyes, and that intense gaze became the heart of this painting for me.
As I painted, I focused on the rich, deep tones of the panther and the subtle details that bring its face and eyes to life. I wanted the viewer to feel as though they have paused for a moment in the wild and found themselves looking directly into the eyes of this extraordinary creature.
Painted in oil on **30" x 24" stretched canvas**, _Cat’s Eyes_ reflects my fascination with the strength, elegance, and quiet mystery found in nature.
**For me, this painting is about presence—the kind that doesn't need to make a sound to be felt.** I hope when you look into those eyes, you feel the same sense of wonder, curiosity, and connection that inspired me while creating this piece. magnificent animal—I wanted to capture the feeling of being completely drawn into its presence.

Sunset Highway
### **Sunset Highway**
I created _Sunset Highway_ from my love of those long, open-road journeys where the destination becomes less important than the moments you experience along the way. There is something special about driving with miles of road ahead, watching the landscape change, and suddenly finding yourself beneath a breathtaking sunset.
I wanted this painting to capture that feeling of freedom and possibility—the quiet excitement of the open road and the beauty of not knowing exactly what lies around the next bend. The glowing sunset creates a sense of warmth and peace, while the highway draws the eye forward, inviting you to imagine where the journey might lead.
I chose to paint _Sunset Highway_ in **acrylic on a 30" x 40" repurposed wood panel**. Using a repurposed surface was meaningful to me because I enjoy giving materials a second life and allowing their character to become part of the artwork.
**For me, this painting is about the journey, not simply the destination.** It is a reminder to slow down, look around, and appreciate the beautiful moments we discover along the way. I hope _Sunset Highway_ brings that same sense of freedom, warmth, and possibility into your space.
