Utah Capitol from Memory Grove On certain summer mornings, Memory Grove feels removed from the urgency of the city around it. Along City Creek, neighbors, families, and companions move quietly beneath the trees, while the Capitol catches the first light above. This painting captures a fleeting moment of connection, reflection, and the simple joy of sharing a beautiful place.
Multnomah Falls, Reimagined – In the early 2000s, I lived in Oregon and Multnomah Falls was a favorite destination. From lush Pacific Northwest foliage to breathtaking waterfalls and architecturally interesting bridges, the region was a veritable expanse of stunning places to explore. After moving to northern Utah, though, I fell in love with snow, mountains, and a myriad of outdoor fun here. I’ve often imagined some of my previous favorite locations (Multnomah Falls) set in my now favorite setting - moody winterscape.

Twilight Storm of Logan Farm – A summer storm moves across Cache Valley as the last light of evening breaks through heavy clouds over the mountains east of Logan. For a brief moment, the fields and farmhouses below glow with warm light against a dark, restless sky. The scene feels quiet but charged, as the land seems to hold its breath while the storm passes.

Echoes of Home in the Golden Hour – When I came across this scene (American West Heritage Center in Logan, Utah), it stirred echoes of the childhood farm where I learned to ride horses and spent long hours in the barn, swinging from ropes and crawling through hay tunnels. My grandfather gave me a pair of peafowl he’d raised from eggs—loud, bold companions that followed me everywhere. Though this isn’t the farm I knew, its golden-hour light and familiar shapes brought a flood of early memories and the moment I saw it, I knew I had to paint it.

Misty Teton Morning 1, the first in a series, captures a quiet lake at the base of the Grand Tetons, where mist drifts over gentle reflections of towering peaks. The scene is softened and abstracted, letting mood and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. Light and shadow mingle in the haze, evoking the hush of early morning. It’s a fleeting, intimate glimpse of the mountains—a place where stillness and grandeur meet, and the world feels both immense and tender.

Before the Fields Were Paved – While driving through Logan, Utah, on a hot summer evening, I pulled into the Lee’s Marketplace parking lot for a quick rest—and there it was: a classic red barn with its weathered silo, standing quietly at the edge of the asphalt. A relic of Cache Valley’s farming past, it seemed to hold stories of hay-filled summers and simpler times. The contrast of old and new struck me deeply. Bathed in golden light, the barn felt timeless—an American icon tucked into the everyday. I knew instantly: this wasn’t just a break in my drive, it was a moment worth painting.

Into the Wild Green Yonder was painted as a gift for my daughter, whose traumatic brain injury left her unable to see green, her lifelong favorite color. Together, we explored hues leaning toward turquoise, a range of hues she can still perceive. Inspired by her love of mountains, forests, and snow, the painting transforms those landscapes into a personal, visible world just for her. Every brushstroke carries care, memory, and connection—a tangible expression of love. It’s more than a painting; it’s a bridge between loss and possibility – a quiet celebration of her resilience and the bond we share.

Summer at El Capitan is a meditation on stillness and scale. Inspired by a summer visit to Yosemite, the painting captures the towering granite face of El Capitan mirrored in the water below, framed by drifting clouds and forest reflections. Rather than document the landscape, it evokes a sense of calm and timelessness — a moment where earth, sky, and water seem to pause in quiet conversation. Through layered color and atmosphere, the work invites viewers to linger in that suspended moment of connection with the natural world.

Storm Light Over Logan Farm – Storms built in the mountains all afternoon, the kind that turn the air electric before the first drop falls. Down in the valley, the last of the light lingers over the fields while the sky breaks open in color that doesn’t belong to evening or night. The animals keep grazing – weather comes and goes here – but moments like this feel like the land remembering something older than the people living on it.

Ogden Nature Center - Barn Across the Marshes – On a walk through Ogden Nature Center in the Spring, set against a stunning Wasatch Mountains backdrop, I spied a structure that had an interesting window which didn't seem to fit the building’s function. Not knowing the building's history and given what appears to be stalls that run its length, I imagined it to be some kind of barn, picturing what a homestead might have looked like here at this seemingly historic site. Later, much to my amusement, I discovered the building was the ACTUAL Ogden Nature Center facility where offices and gift shop are!

Sugarhouse Congregation – In the shade of mature trees at Sugarhouse Park, geese gather quietly on an open lawn. Beyond them, a fountain stirs the lake, while city buildings rise against distant Wasatch mountains. This moment — serene, balanced, and unassuming — reflects the quiet coexistence of the natural and urban. The geese, grounded and grazing, mirror the skyline behind them in a soft, living rhythm. Here, nature claims its place not through grandeur, but through presence — a congregation of life in a shared, breathing space.

Autumn Wanderings captures a quiet moment just before night settles in. A narrow path leads forward, curving out of sight as it climbs into a stand of autumn trees. Brooding hues and purple-shadowed ground suggest the day is fading, but not yet gone—light lingers, uncertain. The hillside and obscured destination invite speculation rather than clarity. Nothing dramatic happens here, yet something feels imminent. The mood is reflective and slightly uneasy, as if the path holds a choice, a memory, or a story that continues just beyond the bend.

I Would Do This Day With You Again – In late summer 2025, a rainy van trip to Bear Lake, Utah, unfolded into one of those rare, perfectly imperfect days. A downpour led us to an antique shop in Randolph, Utah, where a small sign read, “I Would Do This Day With You Again.” I didn’t buy it—and later regretted it. At Cisco Beach Campground, rain gave way to stars, a roaring campfire, and gourmet s’mores. The next day delivered epic skies, hours of painting, and a van lockout that felt less like trouble and more like permission to stay exactly where we were.

As the path turns and twists, a sense of anticipation builds—what lies just around the corner?

Reflections in the Golden Hour captures the gentle emergence of a new day, moments after the sun crests and begins to bathe the landscape in soft golden light.

Through its delicate interplay of light and shadow, the painting offers a contemplative glimpse into the beauty of beginnings and the promise in each sunrise.

Springtime at Timberline (Powder Mountain) comes from a summer ride up Powder Mountain, where familiar ski slopes transform under wildflowers and sun-warmed ridges. Mountains lighten as they fade into the distance. Loose and lively, the painting captures the thrill of movement and discovery, the way a familiar place can feel entirely new when seen from a different perspective.
Beneath a Brooding Sky captures a landscape not bound by realism, but shaped by feeling. Rich, exaggerated color pushes past the literal to evoke a moody vibrancy—wildflowers blaze, the sky churns, and a lone tree anchors the scene. White fences, open and incomplete, suggest thresholds rather than barriers—nature moving freely, uncontained. This is not a place remembered, but an emotional landscape imagined at the edge of calm and storm.

Between Seasons at Snow Basin – High in the Wasatch Range, Snowbasin’s lodge peeks through a warm summer haze. Once blanketed in powder, the slopes now glow with green, spring’s last wildflowers clinging to the hills. Long shadows stretch across the meadow, cast by towering pines and late afternoon sun. The mountain breathes in quiet contrast—its winter roar replaced by the hush of wind and distant birdsong. This moment, caught between seasons, holds the spirit of the basin: timeless, changing, and still.
