Exploring the Pond
As many of you know, I typically work in a series. That means that in my art, I try to focus on the same topic or theme over a period of time. I may paint outside of that theme on occasion, but my main focus is exploring ways to talk about one place, person, or landscape.
Last October, after a wonderful weekend with two close art friends, I chose the theme of the small pond just outside my studio. The pond has great personal meaning, and beyond that, it is home to creatures and plants that tell a different story each day.
Below, I am sharing all the paintings from this series. Feel free to scroll through and leave comments—I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Working on this series has been a journey of observation and reflection. The pond, small as it is, holds a universe of life and stories that change every day. Through these paintings, I hope to share a glimpse of that beauty and encourage everyone to look closely at the small wonders around them. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
