Fine Art - National Parks

I love to travel, and am often inspired to create artwork from my travels. My husband and I love visiting the National Parks, and these trips are a great source of artistic inspiration. Read the blog from our most recent road trip HERE.

I work in the style of Modern Impressionism. Modern impressionists seek to capture the fleeting effects of light through loose and expressive brushwork. I enjoy showing details that you might not notice otherwise. To find a new way to look at something familiar. Inquire by email for availability, prices and shipping information for pieces not marked sold, or for commissioned work.

31 Days. 21 National Parks and Monuments. 1 Electric Car.

In 2019, my husband and I embarked on a month-long road trip in our Tesla Model 3, planning to visit 16 states and 21 destinations. On top of that, we planned to sleep in the back of the car most nights. This would not be our first national park vacation, but certainly our most ambitious. Would a flat tire put us behind schedule? Would the car run out of battery on The Loneliest Road in Nevada? Would we strangle each other? Find out all about it at our travel blog below!
