01 — Seasonal & Holiday

Painted by hand.
Sent from the heart.

Every brushstroke is a little love letter.

A way to slow down, choose something beautiful, and remind someone that they matter to you.

For birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, celebrations, sympathy, or simply because.

Not just a card.
A small piece of art that says, I thought of you.

02 — Commissions

Commissions that
last a lifetime.

Her knife. Your memories.

Pet portraits are what people ask for most — one dog or the whole pack, pieced together from as many photos as you have (one recent family piece: 24×36 acrylic).

But she'll take on just about anything: custom Christmas ornaments, a pumpkin once the season batch is done, even a vintage ironing board. If you can describe it, ask.

The work she
chose.

Larger originals painted for no one but herself — bison at 24×48, portraits of friends and legends. “I am a self-taught and still learning artist. I dreamed of days like this!”

Knife and brush in acrylic and mixed media — some pieces layer acrylic with rice paper and charcoal (like Goose and Jim); some of the horses are built up with modeling paste and additives. Each painting’s description lists its own materials, and originals for sale list their exact canvas size (e.g. Bison · 24×48).

Palette-knife wolf head with blue eyes
Featured original

Wolf

A big palette-knife wolf head — ridges of paint built up into fur, and those blue eyes doing all the talking. The kind of piece that only happens when she paints for herself.
