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
Home/Exile $2400
Coming soon.
Home/Exile brings together a West Texas sky and Tibetan prayer flags - the worlds that shaped me during a period of personal and spiritual transformation. The background captures Lubbock's vast blue jean sky and blurred horizons, while vibrant prayer flags (including one worn strand from 2008) create movement between belonging and displacement.
I created this 49" x 49" mixed media work after touring Tibetan refugee camps in India with the Tibetans in Exile Today program (UofA). It holds the tension between leaving and belonging.
Storm Clears on a Rainy Hike $1950
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 $1800
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 $1150
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.
