A nomadic Artist, living and creating in a self-converted van, I paint in a jubilant riot of color to harness the splendor of landscapes through which I travel.

This painting was inspired by the Washington Pass overlook at the east end of North Cascades National Park in Northern Washington State.
It was pouring rain the entire time we drove through the park and low, heavy clouds obscured everything from mid-treeline and above.
Rain continued to fall as Paco and I walked along the little path at the overlook, but I wasn`t about to drive through without stopping to take in the amazing scenery. I was just grateful the clouds lifted to reveal the full view.

A quiet and colorful morning walk in the rain for your moment of zen. 😌🍁🍂

The fall colors are on point in this area. 😍
Every trail feels like a magical technicolor corridor.
I`ve taken a bazillion photos, but I`ll just share one for now. 😁🍂🍁

Our last campsite was just supposed to be a temporary stop, but we ended up spending a week there instead.
We`d been moving through thick, moss-covered forests, which are beautiful, but also damp and dark.
I found myself craving sunlight and headed to higher ground where we found just that.
Each day offered the full arc of both the sun and moon moving overhead. Evenings brought an orchestra of crickets and frogs, daily deer visits, and even a little bear.
It was pure delight, and the bright sunlight was such an inspiration I cranked out FIVE new paintings while there! 😮
We`ve moved on now and new, exciting adventures await. I can`t wait to share what`s in store for us next - it`s good! 🥳😁👩🏼🎨

A glimpse into what painting in the van looks like and how my art supplies spread out over every possible surface. 😂🤷🏼♀️

This new painting was inspired by my time on Whidbey Island.
I think I could stare at the ocean all day long and not grow bored. Then again, I could say the same about staring at the clouds, or tall grass and leaves swaying in the breeze.
Being in nature provides endless entertainment. 🌲😌🗻🏞️
This painting is now available in my website shop. 🙌🏼

Sunsets are always better with puppy kisses. 🥰

It`s Paco`s birthday! 🎈🥰🥳🐶
8 years young and still gets mistaken for a puppy out on trails.
I couldn`t choose just one pic to celebrate this good boy, so here`s a million. 😍😁❤️
