Inspired by the quiet beauty of Idaho’s foothills, I create contemporary landscapes that explore stillness, light, and memory. Working in layered acrylic, oil sticks, and colored pencil, I build subtle textures and atmospheric forms that invite viewers to slow down and experience a sense of calm. My work is collected by those who appreciate refined, minimalist interiors and timeless landscapes.
