Revisiting this work from two years ago for some more of that fall time reflection, it’s still looking oh-so-great. This piece can be found in downtown Tacoma, Washington on the back of @7seasbrewing. This was a labor of love and seven months in the making as a rails to trails project along the #prairielinetrail among the other works of @rotatorcreative @ryanfeddersen and Attopatsec with @tacomaarts @ecomurals and @lucasbrinkerhoff_art . . . . . . . . . #accentwall #interiors #exteriors #washingtonstate #pnwonderland #thanks #blue #florals #steel #colorsplash #sculpture #publicart #history #seattleart #puyallup #tacomaarts #northwestart (at 7 Seas Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3xyGKuA8QP/?igshid=p78rksjfjdff

As I’ve learned some mental habits of being an artist over the years, aka Studio Habits of Mind, I’ve made a habit of reflecting upon my work this time of year. As I revisit this mural for @wildcraftcider, I recall the research that went into understanding the native botanicals in their ciders through plant observation, plant structure drawings and of course tasting! 🥂 As I prepare for a fall of painting murals, live painting at events and commissions, DM me if you’d like to talk about how I can come live in your space or event 🌟 . . . . . . . . . . . . #accentwall #interiors #ladieswhopaint #mural #muralist #eugeneoregon #oregon #pnw #bees #exploregon #wildcraft #florals #floral #blue #bloom #cider #colorsplash #artistsoninstagram #interiordesign #studiohabitsofmind #teachingartist #artsed #portlandart (at WildCraft Cider Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sp5b0A3Wk/?igshid=10xifrcjl9t8q

The fields of blue and purple take my breath away in spring. Natural history is endlessly fascinating. When learning about the food history of the Willamette Valley, one quickly finds the grand camas flower which blooms in spring. The primary staple plant of the Kalapuya known as quamash was harvested for bulbs and roasted to sweetness. Camassia quamash is a member of the lily family and though it was unknown to science before the Lewis and Clark expedition, it was long revered and used by the people of this valley. #willamettevalley #PNW #Bees #SaveTheBees #Bloom #Blue #Colorsplash #artistofinstagram #Wild #Oregon #Oregonian #Interior #Pollinators #History #Food #Painting #Muralist #AColorStory #Interiors #PassionColorJoy #InteriorDesign #seattleinteriors #murals https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cttWJA28-/?igshid=1bzmlp1ijhx9f

Painting the town red, pink, blue and yellow! Views from the @eugenetownsquare community painting project this September. It was brilliant to see the many hands at work to complete this colorful piece that represents our new downtown civic space “that is deeply rooted in community-based ideals”. Such a fun project to host this live painting aspect of the event with the 100 people that came and went to add their touch.

Woodshed . 2019 “Musicians don’t retire; they stop when there’s no more music in them.” – Louis Armstrong Growing up in a musical family has shown me the endless hours of practice, repetition and discipline that go in to playing an instrument. As a child I would often wake up in mornings to faint sound of my parents plucking away on the banjo or guitar as they worked up a new song or practiced scales over and over and over. If the morning wake up wasn’t chickens it was definitely the banjo. 🤣🙉 This piece is inspired by them and those in my life who have been dedicated to making music and the incredible persistence that goes into it. As a fiddler, having bandmates, friends and family to play with is what keeps the long practices meaningful for me. I’ve been branching out from folk and bluegrass genres into jazz standards lately- talk about endurance and patience! Sometimes life and work and all the things get prioritized over those notey practices but I’ve come to see my big WHY: to play with those I love and make new friends along the way. What are your practices that you plan to hold onto for life? “Woodshed”- Take a live look while this piece is up for one more week @ineugene_real_estate @moonlightjubilee #motivation #justkeepplaying #violin #fiddle #family #music #jazz #folk #practice #louisarmstrong #patience #persistence #love #community #bluegrass #banjolove #guitar #localart #eugeneoregon #Eugene #pnw #interiors #acrylic #musician #orchestra #sound #silence #oregon #artistsofinstagram #red #muralist #womanartist (at InEugene Real Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xW_Z6AHBR/?igshid=fbprikbg6zbm

Incredibly inspired by my brother’s ventures in sculpture and casting copper. I’m blessed to have such a creative family. There is always something musical and magical to build or garden or take care of in the works. This project, the salmon sculpture, has been in the works for almost a year and a half and is closing in on its final weeks before installation in downtown #grantspass. More coming on this fish story 🐟 🔥 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #traveloregon #oregon #salmon #artistsoninstagram #sculpture #travelgrantspass #copper #fishing #flame #fish #art #localart #science #publicart #chemistry #casting #bronze #build #protect #healthyrivers #river #rogueriver #family #brother #inspiration #inspirational #rurallife #ruralstudio #spacetomake https://www.instagram.com/p/B2itgWpA3dx/?igshid=w7xiwa1z2slf
