I'm happy to be showing ten of my paintings during the month of March here on Bainbridge Island at the Bainbridge Island Public Library. The paintings in 'Illuminated' focus on the interaction of sunlight, water, clouds, and sky. Bold and bright saturated color juxtaposed against soft neutral shades creates movement and echoes the shifting light found in nature. All ten pieces are available in my online shop.

My work is currently on view at Rocco's in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle in a show curated by Ghost Gallery. If you're in Seattle be sure to stop by and check out my work and score some fantastic pizza while you're there! The show will be up through early April and the paintings are available to purchase online. Rocco's is located at 2228 2nd Avenue, Seattle, WA 98121

Recently ATG Stores, Decorist and Porch came together to makeover a home on Seattle's Queen Anne Hill and I was honored to contribute 3 paintings for the event. 8 rooms were 100% virtually designed by 8 designers and the result was both beautiful and cohesive. This video provides a peek into the home as well as the Cocktail Party where I was able to see the home in person. As you can tell from this video, the view of downtown Seattle is jaw-dropping. And be sure to look for my painting, 'Gleam III', in the boy's bedroom about half-way through:

Pulp Designs commissioned a large painting for the home office based on my Minted print, 'Night Clouds'. I created this 36" x 48" piece titled, 'Into the Night' and I was blown away when I saw it in the finished office. It was definitely one of my favorite rooms in the home.

Melissa Schenck commissioned this painting from my Gleam series for the boy's bedroom. Called 'Gleam III', it measures 36" x 36" and was perfectly complemented by her masculine/nautical design.

My final contribution for the home was chosen by Katja O'Brien for the girl's bedroom. The room is light and airy and my painting 'Morning' looked so sweet hanging next to this fun swing. Such a great room - I know my daughter would love it!

The remaining rooms in the home were designed by Alexa Hampton - master bedroom, Brian Paquette - living room, Ashley Redmond - kitchen, Massucco Warner Miller - family room, and LindHesse Design - foyer. And if you're like me and can't get enough visual inspiration, check out Sunset Magazine's blog for more photos and details.

What a pleasant surprise to see my print in print! Convergence I, available on Minted, is featured in the January issue of HGTV Magazine. It really looks great in this remodeled kitchen/dining area and I love how they tied all the colors in the room together - especially that pop of yellow.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Found + Gathered Holiday Pop-Up last weekend! The weather outside was truly awful, but the creativity and festive cheer inside was inspiring. I enjoyed meeting the many talented local makers and designers who participated.

It was a wonderful event with so many creative touches added by the team from Found + Gathered and Dandy & Fine Parties like this adorable countdown to Christmas photo wall (below). My two little elves got a kick out of it as well as the sweet goodie bags they were able to take home!

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
