Urban Windows
Large-scale paintings that bring vast landscapes and intimate garden moments into concrete-dominated spaces - windows to nature when actual windows reveal only urban sprawl.
Available Work
West Texas Sky $3600
This 49" x 49" painting captures the vast atmosphere of Lubbock's iconic blue-jean sky - that particular quality of light and space found only in West Texas, where the horizon seems to stretch forever.
The wispy cloud floats in a gradient that moves from deep navy to pale blue, with just a sliver of sunlight emerging at the ground line. The empty field below grounds the composition, letting the sky breathe and dominate as it does in real life on the plains.
Painted as a meditation on home and landscape, this piece brings the expansive feeling of West Texas into urban spaces where actual windows reveal only concrete and steel.
Storm Clears on a Rainy Hike $4,000
Storm Clears on a Rainy Day Hike captures a backwoods walk from Fayetteville to West Fork, Arkansas, where the grass grew so tall we didn't startle the deer until they were just strides ahead, leaping over the wispy tops.
This large 48" x 60" acrylic recreates that feeling of storm clouds clearing, the smell of rain.
Created in Dallas as a window back to that sense of being part of nature rather than separate from it, this piece offers an immersive escape to wide-open spaces.
In the Yard After Dark $3800
In the Yard After Dark takes the old Dutch flower painting tradition and scales it way up - 48" x 60" of bold blooms against deep shadows.
Conceived for urban spaces where actual windows reveal only concrete and steel, this piece offers viewers a generous encounter with the organic world that exists beyond our increasingly built environment.
Baby's Window $2200
Baby's Window celebrates rebirth with brilliant Texas wildflowers against a soft blue sky.
Painted during pregnancy for a nursery, this 48" x 30" acrylic brings wildflower meadows up close - a vibrant window into nature's beauty for us city dwellers.
Fork in the Road $1100
24” x 24”, Acrylic on Canvas, 2025
“Fork in the Road” presents viewers with an immersive decision point - two diverging paths through a dreamlike forest where reality blurs into something more ethereal. Using divisionist techniques, the trees shimmer with separated color strokes that create an atmospheric luminosity, suspending the scene between seasons - neither fully spring nor fall, but somewhere in transition.
The painting positions the viewer at the moment of choice itself. Both paths are equally beautiful, equally mysterious, their endings obscured by light and foliage. This is not about right versus wrong, but about the tension between inner knowing and external fear - that persistent question of whether we’ll trust the quiet voice that already knows which way to go, or let protective mechanisms keep us frozen at the crossroads.
Part of the “Urban Windows” series, this work continues my exploration of bringing immersive natural experiences into urban spaces, while introducing the conceptual framework of “Little Confessions” - acknowledging the universal human experiences we typically navigate alone. The divisionist approach reinforces this duality: up close, the trees are fragments of discrete color; step back, and they cohere into something whole and luminous - much like how clarity emerges when we gain perspective on our own choices.
The Cove $2400
48” x 30”, Acrylic on Canvas, 2025
The Cove depicts a dense forest meeting water in early morning light - the liminal space between lake and shore, dream and memory. Using a divisionist technique of dots and dashes, I build the scene through accumulations of color and mark-making, creating a landscape that feels both hyper-real and impossibly idealized.
The painting emerged over three years of returning to this image - a longing for complete immersion in nature, the sensory experience of being held by water while surrounded by trees. It's about homesickness for a place that might not exist except in memory: Arkansas mornings, the particular quality of light through leaves, the way forest and water speak to each other.
The vivid, active surface contrasts with the soft, matte periwinkle sky - a moment of rest above all that visual intensity. Black outlines give structure to the dream. The graphic quality, the "too good to be true" saturation - these aren't accidents. They're how hope looks. How longing translates into paint.
This is nature as I want to remember it: generous, enveloping, more vivid than life. A place to return to when the actual world feels too sharp.
