The Flock Project has flown the coop!All 13 birds have found their way into new homes, and I couldn’t be more grateful—for your support, your stories, and your shared love for art and nature. Thank you.And… this flock may not be done just yet.
I’m quietly sketching some new birds—ones with feathers a little bolder, a little wilder. Think owls, hawks, quails, even a turkey or two. A small Father’s Day series may be on the wing… 🦆Stay tuned. There’s more to come.And again, thank you.

Introducing The Flock Project 🦅Twelve tiny birds, each one a symbol of care, beauty, and hope.Each small painting in this series represents something more: an adoption. When you purchase one, you’re supporting the Audubon Society and helping protect real birds across North America.Painted on 400gsm handmade, deckle-edged cotton paper and mounted on 5x7 card stock, these originals are full of texture and soul—perfect for Mother’s Day or as a keepsake for someone you love. Something small that carries a wide wingspan.Available tomorrow at 10 AM on my website. Limited edition of 12.Each comes with a printed adoption card and a hand-painted name—like Hope, Wanderer, or Joy.More details in stories.

🧡💛 The Kiwano melon might be one of the strangest fruits I’ve ever tasted—slimy like pumpkin guts and not exactly delicious. But its spiky shell? Totally worth it. I brought one home hoping for a flavor adventure and ended up sketching its mirrored form instead. Sometimes beauty shows up in the unexpected.

⚜️At first glance, this piece feels like a flowing abstract — cool blues, soft golds, a gentle movement across the canvas. But when you step closer, the details begin to emerge: hundreds (maybe more 😉) of tiny hand-painted birds in flight, each one adding to the quiet rhythm of the whole.In the spirit of fun — and to celebrate the small details that make a piece come alive — I’m hosting a little game: Can you guess how many birds are in this painting? The closest guess will win a small original artwork from me! 🦅Drop your guess in the comments — I’ll announce the winner in a few days!

⚜️ Kiss the Sky ⚜️Thirteen gold cranes in flight, each one hand-painted in oil, gliding across layers of alcohol ink on clay board. The backdrop is a wash of denim blues, soft whites, and a single bronze streak—subtle, but grounding.This 31” x 31” piece is framed in a bronze floater, chosen to mirror the warmth and depth within. Sharing the full painting and a few close-up details—there’s a quiet kind of movement woven through it all.

🍓 🖊️ Real on one side, imagined on the other. I’m drawn to these quiet studies—simple forms, familiar textures, and a little stop-motion magic.

A little behind-the-scenes peek from an exciting day last week… 🎥I was interviewed by Reach TV @gspairport about my two 15-foot installations of women on bikes—projects that have been deeply meaningful to create. The short film will be looping inside the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport soon!I spent the day with a film crew on site, sharing stories and answering questions about the work. One of the things I talked about was the role of public art in places like airports—these in-between spaces where people are arriving, leaving, beginning, or returning. I believe art can meet people there. It can ground them, offer a moment of calm, or simply invite reflection.Here’s a preview of a few moments from that day!

⚜️From afar it reads as a flowing abstract… cool blues, warm golds, soft movement. But as you step closer, thousands of tiny birds begin to emerge, each one hand-painted and in motion. A quiet rhythm reveals itself… part cloud, part current, part memory. There’s a kind of order here, a balance within the chaos, a beautiful ratio taking flight.I’ve shared ten different spaces—each one offering a unique perspective on how “The Great Divide” lives in a room. I’d love to know which one speaks to you most.

Above the Noise | 8 x 10 inches | Alcohol ink & india ink on museum series claybord. Framed in a black floater frame.This piece holds several hundred birds within a single sweeping murmuration—each one drawn by hand in quiet rhythm.I’ve placed “Above the Noise” in eight different room settings to show how it lives in different spaces. The final photo offers a closer look at the intricate details.Which space to you think it fits best? (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8?) ⚜️

🍋 A fun little experiment in blending reality with imagination. One side is real, the other is drawn—and I love the contrast. Thinking of making this a weekly thing… what should I draw next?

“Art is to console those who are broken by life.

“Art is to console those who are broken by life.” – Vincent van GoghThere’s something deeply soothing about a murmuration—the way countless birds move together, shifting and flowing as one. Painting them, one by one, quiets my mind in the same way. This piece began with sweeping layers of alcohol ink, but it’s the thousands of hand-painted birds that bring it to life, each one adding to the rhythm and movement.Where do you find calm in the chaos?
