Aspen groves are special places.  I love listening to the leaves shimmer in the breeze.  Having a wolf appear among the beautiful white bark makes it all the more special.

When I saw the photograph of this ram, the first thing I thought was how powerful and strong he looked. It is a quiet sort of power, not boastful, but full of confidence. It is the kind of confidence that comes from knowing who you are and that you are capable of handling whatever the future has in store for you.

Glacier is one of my favorite places to hike. Whenever I get out of the crowds and into the mountains I am greeted by so many different forms of wildlife. Marmots are some of my favorites as they always seem to be so curious and good-natured.


Screaming Eagle

This eagle is screaming “Stop It!” Sometimes that is exactly how I feel. My kids will tell you that the one thing that really upsets me is when they are arguing.  When I saw the photograph it made me think maybe this eagle just wants the fighting to stop.

I love sunlight. The way it hits the antlers on this elk made me feel the warmth of it. There is something completely relaxing about basking in the sunshine, but even more so when it is in the middle of the wilderness.

Elusive One

Original piece - $1,250 Available

I love seeing a bull moose with full antlers because it happens on such a rare occasion.  It seems that I should see them more often because I live in Montana, but they remain elusive to me.  I can’t tell you how many times someone has said, “Oh, you just missed him!” My favorite place for spotting these beauties is up at Fisher Cap Lake in Glacier National Park.  I have seen them twice in the middle of the lake as they stick their heads under the water to feed in the twilight.  It is mesmerizing.

This guy is a bit cheeky with that little smirk on his face.  He’s the one that always puts a little fun in the sport of fishing.  I like to think he enjoys the chase too!


Blue Gaze

Original 12” x 24” Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Original piece - $1,290 SOLD

This piece was a commissioned work for a client who wanted a special anniversary present for his wife. She has a love for and a connection to Great Blue Herons.  It was absolutely wonderful working with someone who is so clearly in love with his wife.  I also enjoyed working on this piece because of what it brought into my life.  Almost every time I take a walk along the Clark Fork River, I see a Great Blue Heron and they always give me a sense of peace.  They seem to be relaxed, just taking in the incredible beauty all around them.  Painting this reminded me to take time, slow down, and enjoy my surroundings.
