Featured Work - "Mandala Gondola" designs.
Giclee prints embellished with oils - 24"x24". Sun Valley Company and the City of Ketchum asked me to design imagery for a ski gondola to be installed later this year. Above are the designs for the three sides to be wrapped, featuring the "flower of life" motif doubling as the sky. The original embellished designs, as well as the oil painting from which they were created, are available for purchase. View them individually in "Available Works" below.

One of the sweetest things someone has said about tinyExpanse: "Her ability to capture the essence of an expansive landscape on such a small canvas is like a haiku in oil."

Process
Plein Air painting in the Boise Foothills.
I love to rise before the sun comes up and head out with my paints in time for the first light. In the winter, I stuff a hot water bottle into my coat to keep warm. I work wet-on-wet, or "alla prima," meaning that I complete a painting in one sitting and don't go back and rework details. For me this is in harmony with my focus on immediacy - experiencing and expressing a specific moment in a specific place. Plein Air painting is the foundation for the larger works I complete back in the studio. Read more about my Plein Air process on my blog.
