Welcome friends, art lovers and creatives!  I'm excited to offer a variety of fine art prints, some fresh and vibrant gift shop items, and an ever-growing collection of light, bright, optimistic original works.

 

The very act of creating can be so theraputic and relaxing and I'd love to take you with me through my process.  Please head over to my blog to learn about all kinds of lovely techniques, some snipits about my process, my favorite fine art materials, and ways to incorporate color into your space...infusing a little joy and lightness along the way.

My “Cloudscapes for Kay” collection is now available on my website. (Link in bio). This collection is dedicated to my mom, Kay, who left us way too soon. She passed away suddenly of a massive stroke in late July, a few weeks before her 69th birthday. She was a lover of the outdoors, an avid kayaker, hiker, and gardener, an energenic and loving grandma, a yoga enthusiast and a fellow sky gazer. It wasn't out of the ordinary for her to call me and tell me to run outside and look at the sunset or text me photos she'd taken of the dramatic Montana skies. She was generous with her love to all she encountered. Last year, she and my dad moved to Bigfork and built a house to be closer to their daughters and grand babies. I feel so fortunate to have had that time to be near her. I still feel her here, inspiring me to create and to live fully and passionately and to take the time to revel in the beauty of the outdoors. Creating this collection of paintings has been healing and I can’t help but think that she had something to do with how freely each painting seemed to flow. I hope that her love and light shines through in every one. Until we meet again pretty lady, keep sending me those gorgeous clouds. I love you mama.

I’ve been busy in the studio creating a collection of soft, ethereal cloudscapes...the kind my mom would have loved. I haven’t shared this until now because it’s so new and raw but we lost our beautiful Mom, Kay, to a sudden stroke a couple of weeks ago. She was so young and vibrant and kind...loved kayaking and hiking and being an amazing grandma...the kind who does foot races and plays hide and seek and could actually keep UP with the little rug rats! My mom used to text me photos of clouds and write “Mya sky tonight.” ❤️ She loved the drama of Montana skies. I’m looking forward to sharing this collection with you soon; my heart feels so much lighter when I’m painting.
15 mini and mid-sized summer-inspired original paintings are available on my website now ✨(Link in bio) It’s a smaller collection than I’m used to releasing but with a jam packed month ahead, I want to share these babies with the world while I still have the chance 😉
Finishing touches on a small collection of minis heading to my website soon, maybe even today if I can pull it off!
When life gets chaotic and messy, these mini’s are my favorite retreat. Early mornings, coffee, and painting small...the perfect combination for resetting and rejuvenating ✨

A friend asked how I manage to find the time to paint and parent and do all of the “things”...the life things. I promise it’s not magic. I think what I’ve done this past year is allow my studio time to feel important. It can’t be an afterthought or something I do do when I have a little down time...that time simply never comes. Whether I’m waking up a bit before the rest of the house or asking my husband to take the kids on an adventure, I’m learning some crafty ways to find a minimum of 2 hours of studio time several times a week to create. Some weeks I meet my goal...most weeks I do not but I’m constantly seeking those blocks of time. After all, art is my oxygen...it really does feel THAT important to my overall well-being.
I have this incredible friend who not only shares a passion for landscapes and light and the drama of Montana skies, but who also loves being a mom and is darn good at it! This lovely friend left her shift at the ER last Thursday, grabbed her wand (aka her camera) and drove to Whitefish to grab some photos of my show at @stephenisleyjewelry and she managed to catch an inordinate number of pics in which I’m not making a ridiculous face while live painting. Straight magic @mindipassonsphoto !!!!✨💕 Thank you @conniecermak for rallying the troops and hosting yet another delicious wine and cheese party!!! You are my angel. ❤️ @coach_sean_saadi @mtdefries @carykrager Thank you for coming and supporting me...you knew I’d be nervous and that seeing familiar faces would chill me right out 🙏
My “Chasing Light” fabric has launched on @minted in a variety of applications from curtains to lamp shades to throw pillows. OR, if you know how to work a sewing machine (an art that I have not had the patience to master) you can purchase the fabric itself!! So many possibilities. Link in bio ✨
I’ll be live painting mini’s at @stephenisleyjewelry in Whitefish tonight from 6pm-9pm. Come say hello if you’re in the area!
“Calling Us Home” is one of my larger paintings this year at 48”x36” and will make its debut at @stephenisleyjewelry Thursday June 7th for 1st Thursday. Come take a peek! 5-8pm
