Every year here in the Northern Hemisphere, we wait with great anticipation for that big moment when the Earth goes “THUNK” and tips in the other direction—also known as the Winter Solstice. Up in the PNW, we kind of white knuckle it until then as the sky gets murkier and the days seem impossibly short. I spend the weeks approaching the Solstice immersed in creating my annual Winter Solstice Joy painting. Coupled with a mid-day walk in the daylight (rain or shine), painting this work of Joy has become a comforting tradition at this time of year—bringing light and hope into these grey days. This year's edition was inspired by a painting I did in high school, inspired by a hazy sunset purple mountain range photo from National Geographic. That photo and painting stayed with me in my mind’s eye all these years later, particularly when I see the sun setting over the Olympic Mountains to the West of Seattle—a view I often see as I drive west across town. I found my high school painting a few weeks ago realized it was the perfect inspiration for this year’s Winter Solstice painting. Winter Solstice (2021) features my confetti pattern brush marks, inspired by Alma Thomas and Yayoi Kusama, with a warm purple, magenta, and soft pinkish, yellowish, lavenderish top—with dashes of shimmering gold paint.

Would you love some Joy? Well, you've come to the right place. My paintings have been anecdotally proven to bring Joy. Whether you choose paintings abundant with bright, vibrant colors or imbued with a calming, soft gathering of neutrals, your adding my art to your life will bring you Joy. Joy is essential to feeling balanced and restoring, especially in difficult times. I've spent the past four years learning more about the positive impact of joy and playing with how to bring that to my art. Joy brings hope and optimism, for me and for my collectors. I delve deeply into why Joy matters; how it is different from happiness; why we not only need it, but we all **deserve** it. My paintings bring positive energy wherever they are displayed. My paintings have exhibited in solo and group shows in Seattle, Virginia, Maryland, Nashville, North Carolina, and Washington DC, including at the Phillips Collection. My works are held in private collections in Seattle, New York, London, Washington DC, Virginia, California, and around the world. Born in London, England, my parents and I emigrated to the States when I was two. I hold an MFA in Visual Arts at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, an MA from The George Washington University, and a BA from Davidson College. I am married to a retired U.S. Marine, Tom, and we live in Seattle with our beloved Golden Chow, Mory, aka Studio Dog.
