My paintings feature animals, sunrises or sunsets, and soft, glowing skies. I layer each piece with care to bring out the details and emotions that connect us to the natural world. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s capturing a moment that feels quiet, warm, and a little hard to walk away from.

This beautiful fox is taking carfuls steps in the snow, hoping the crunch of the snow under its feet isn’t too loud. The fox was headed towards the warm sun peaking through the trees. It barely makes it to the edge of the forest when it hears something and turns back and sees you. Without a word the fox’s alluring eyes seem to tell you “follow me.”
This is the first piece of my first watercolor collection and it had to be of a majestic fox. I’ve always loved foxes and this woodland creatures collection would not be complete without a sly fox. I called this piece “Follow Me” because there seems to be a smile in the fox’s eyes like he wants you to know the secret of where he’s headed. So what are you waiting for? Take a leap and let this fox lead you to a warm kiss from the morning sun.
