The Owl’s Flight Chronicles
My Chronicles…the stories that danced with me through the creative process
…the thoughts that linger behind the images
Olivia’s Mural (pegasus detail)
One of my favorite parts of Olivia's mural....inspired by Steven Cosgrove's wonderful Serendipity books.
Olivia’s Mural (flutterfin detail)
Flutterfin, also inspired by a favorite Serendipity book by Steven Cosgrove.
Olivia’s Mural (little mermaid detail)
Ariel and Flounder were the centerpiece of Olivia's mural. She adored The Little Mermaid movie and nothing would divert her from having Ariel on her wall. We saved the final finishing touches of the mural for Olivia's birthday, and she helped by adding the iridescent...
Olivia’s Mural (unicorn detail)
These colorful unicorns and fish are another portion of the mural adorning our daughter's old room. Grandmother Willow (from the Disney movie "Pocahontas") is my personal favorite.
Cloud Ceiling
Olivia's little bedroom needed a whimsical ceiling to match her colorful mural. Puffy clouds floating along swirls of color along with glow-in-the-dark stars completed the look we were after.
Wings
This beautiful honey-haired angel needs no adornment other than her gorgeously colored wings. She is reminiscent of a Grecian style goddess on a rich purple background. 11" x 14" acrylic on stretched canvas
The Last Glance
Saying goodbye...the moment when you can feel the burn of tears behind your eyes...should you risk looking back and letting the tears fall, or will you be strong and only face forward? I can never just face the future; I always glance back for that last look...in...
The End of Summer
Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest is a constant reminder of the glorious, ever-changing ability of nature to astound me. Fall is a bittersweet time of year, but so gorgeous that I can't stop photographing the colors around me. My paintbrush can never do...
Tansy
Tansy means "tenacious one", and this little girl is definitely that. You can just tell that when she gets an idea in her head...it sticks! Cute, slightly shy, mischievous, and very determined; Tansy is adorable. Her wings and green fairy costume are accented with...
Mermaid Mural
A tranquil scene of three beautiful mermaids watching the approach of a sailing ship.
Marina
Anyone who knows me knows I love mermaids! Here, Marina, (whose name means "of the sea"), lies basking in the evening sun while she plays with her ropes of pearls.
Sunset
Every sunset is different, unique and fleeting. Experiencing the end of a glorious day at a beautiful, Montana lakeside cabin inspired this scene.
Roses
Growing up in central North Dakota left me with many memories of childhood rambles around the family farm. I loved finding the wild prairie roses along the ditches and fence-lines.
Moonscape
My depiction of the Earth Mother overlooking a moonlit river valley.
Selina
You always hear about "the man in the moon", but in my mind it could just as well be the woman in the moon. Selina, (from Greek origins meaning "moon"), reclines on a crescent moon while contemplating where she will hang the next star.
