Oil painter & Encaustic Artist living in Tennessee

Empathy connects us to the wild, reminding us that we share this earth with creatures who feel, love, and struggle just as we do. Be kind ❤️

Hey ya’ll! I’m a 40 yr old mom of teens in Tennessee who decided it’s time to face my fear- no, not going in my rural hometown Walmart - putting my art out the world! After decades of overthinking and under-painting I am chasing the dream I was too chicken to chase. Anyone else chasing dreams?
2025 energy: Shed what does not fit, keep what is golden. 🐍
This painting is my Year of the Snake piece. The snake becomes a symbol of renewal. Releasing what no longer fits, moving forward and trusting the change.

Wrapping up the year feeling grateful. Looking back at this year’s work, I can see the biggest change wasn’t my style, it was my courage. I trusted myself more, stopped waiting to feel ‘ready,’ and was brave enough to paint anyway. Happy New Year everyone ❤️

Just finished this Whitetail Buck painting (36x48, oil)! Whitetail deer are everywhere in Tennessee, but they also roam across most of North America, from Canada to South America!

On my easel today- a Pintail Duck oil painting in a traditional hanging pose. Working on some glazing layers. Can you see the difference? #OilPainting #WildlifeArt #TraditionalArt #ArtistAtWork

Obsessed with Nail Art brushes for the fine details. These brushes are VERY cheap, feel great in the hand and they don’t shed. Anyone else have a favorite painting tool?

Trying to paint a masterpiece, but my dog has other plans. Who needs a muse when you have a cuddle-demanding studio assistant? #OilPainting #WildlifeArt #ArtistLife #DeerPainting #StudioDog
