Preserve the Places That Tell Your Family's Story
Northern California has seen its share of challenges—from floods to wildfires. That's why now is the perfect time to photograph your family's property, whether it's a sprawling ranch, a cherished farmhouse, or a cozy cabin tucked away in the mountains.
When we look through old family albums, we often realize there are plenty of photos of people, but very few of the places that shaped our lives. The barns, corrals, fences, fields, and landscapes that held so many memories quietly disappear with time.
Whether your children or grandchildren feel the same connection to these places or not, a custom painting is a beautiful way to preserve your family's history. It becomes a lasting keepsake that can be enjoyed today and passed down for generations.
I have a deep love for old barns, and it saddens me to watch them slowly fade into weathered piles of wood. Let me help preserve those treasured places before they're gone. Together, we can create a piece of art that celebrates your family's story—something to display with pride, share with loved ones, and cherish long after the original landscape has changed.
Is Commissioned Artwork Affordable?
Absolutely! Commissioned artwork can be surprisingly affordable. The cost depends on several factors, including the size of the piece, the level of detail, and the medium you choose. I'll work closely with you to create a piece that reflects your vision while staying within your budget.
Watercolor
Watercolor is a medium unlike any other. Transparent pigments flow across the paper, creating luminous layers that allow light to shine through and give each painting a remarkable sense of depth and life.
What I love most about watercolor is its spontaneity. It's a collaboration between water, pigment, and paper—one that can't be completely controlled. Those unexpected moments often become the most beautiful part of the painting, giving every piece its own unique character.
Fiber Art
Fiber art is a deeply personal form of expression for me. Every piece is carefully stitched by hand, weaving together texture, color, and story into something both meaningful and lasting.
The slow, rhythmic process of stitching is almost meditative. It's where memory, emotion, and imagination come together—sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly. More than a craft, fiber art is my way of telling stories without words and creating heirloom pieces that invite people to slow down, look closely, and connect through touch and texture.
Each finished piece carries a little of my heart, and I hope it becomes something that brings warmth, beauty, and lasting meaning to your home.
