I'm bringing the latest from my ‘Oh, To Fly!’ collection alongside my cherished Songbird series and beloved ‘Little Wonders’ to this show. You'll discover exclusive original artwork - from intimate watercolor sketches to grand statement pieces that capture nature's beauty and grace.
This is a special opportunity to be among the first to see my newest works and find one-of-a-kind pieces, including sketches that are only available at shows and in my studio. I'd love to meet you and share the stories behind these works.
Can't make it? Explore my complete collection of originals and prints online, or visit my studio by appointment. I also offer a curated selection of greeting cards through my website and studio, perfect for sharing these moments of natural wonder with others. I'd love to meet you and help you find the perfect piece!
