Can you help me design a better bandana? I have a 5-minute survey and will give away 3 bandanas from my current collection to participants. :D

"Forest Fresh" captures calm forest vibes with the sunlight filtering through the canopy and glowing from the mossy floor.
If you turn to the forest for a breath of fresh air and renewal, then this painting will really bring some magic to your space.

What a wild ride! My book arrived a couple weeks ago and I’ve been shipping, delivering, and facilities pickups for hundreds of orders! Still at it!

Grateful for all the support! ❤️

“Alpenwild” has been a popular choice during my spring print sale! Would you hang this in your home?

I was struck by the contrast between the preservation principles of Glacier National Park and the realities of being a major transportation corridor. As the trucks burned fossil fuels, the glaciers caught the last light of the day. Can all these ancient powers coexist in the modern world?

I've started making some of my prints available with a local print shop. They do a fantastic job with top quality materials and hand stretching. 😀

My new work from Glacier National Park (🇨🇦) exploring how the glaciers have changed. Did you know 2025 is the UN’s International Year of Glacier Preservation?

Coming to the Revelstoke Arts Centre March 27th. 🎨
