Peace on Earth was inspired by my ultimate hope.  There is so much pain in this world.  So much struggle and sadness. So much confusion and anger.  So much gluttony and greed.  I wanted to paint a piece with the most beautiful things that would represent this hope of peace.  When I think about Peace on Earth, I shift my perspective from all the horrific things happening to the good that's happening.  I feel a sense of peace when I do that, and hopefully this piece will brighten walls and bring a sense of goodness that exists all around each one of us.  Peace on Earth is everywhere if we look.  

I painted the Mourning Dove because it's native to Montana, has a gentle nature, and makes a soft cooing sound.  The Mourning Dove symbolizes peace, love, hope, and spiritual guidance.  I painted three of them to represent the past, present, and future.  I hope we can learn from our past, live mindfully in the present, and make decisions based on the good of the whole for the future.  

I also painted honeysuckles, lilacs, and p***y willows because those were my favorite childhood plants.  I remember running through the woods, being so excited to find honeysuckles and always stopping to take a tiny, delicate sip of the sweet nectar. Honeysuckles symbolize nostalgic, happy times and stopping to notice the small things.  I've always been fascinated by P***y Willows because of their hardiness and stuffed animal-like softness. They symbolize renewal and hope, strength and childlike wonder.  Lilacs are imprinted in my memory for their incredible sweet fragrance and for how they warm any home with their contagious scent.  My grandmother always had lilacs filling her space.  When I smell them, I think of her and all the wisdom she left behind.  Lilacs symbolize protection, magical hope, and ancestral wisdom.  

Peace on Earth seems unattainable, but the feeling of peace is absolutely attainable within each of us if we look.  What would this world feel like if every human took a moment, that hopefully would turn into many moments, and focused on the good?  Those beautiful, nostalgic things that bring a sense of peace to our hearts.  I wonder what that would be like.

My Huckleberry Universe piece is inspired by my love of the berry. When you look, truly look, at something as small as a Huckleberry, sometimes clarity appears, and the universe brightens with richness. The berries are bountiful this year. I want to go live in the Huckleberry Universe and see all the shapes and colors that are typically so challenging to see. Even though I'm a Huckleberry lover, the Cherry Festival was amazing, and I brought some Huckleberry Love to the show. These two ladies rocked my berry hat 💜💜💜

It's my favorite time of year. So much inspiration everywhere. I see inch worms and lupine dew drops in a future art piece.

My home inspired this piece.  I grew up in the Flathead and spent countless chapters of my life driving around Flathead Lake to venture to someplace or another.  The summers around Flathead are gorgeous.  Sometimes, when taking my dogs for walks on one of the bays, I feel like I’m at the most peaceful ocean cove.  It doesn’t always feel like you’re in Montana when you’re by the lake.  I love the numerous cherry orchards that line the hillsides all around Flathead Lake.  It’s a spot known for its cherries because of the unique microclimate around the lake, providing an ideal growing environment for these juicy morsels of sweetness.  Not only do humans love the dark, sugary cherries, but so do countless birds.  I painted the Chickadee and Cedar Waxwing because they love sweet cherry juice.  I also love the Chickadee’s song, which sounds like they are singing “Cheeseburger,” but in this piece, they are singing “Cher…ries.” I included a beautiful Honey Bee because, without the bees, there would be no cherries.  They are the primary pollinators of cherry trees.  It is magical when the hillsides burst with blooms of delicate pink and white cherry blossoms in May.  These porcelain-like flowers last for about a week and then gently fall like snow and cover the ground, making room for dark, rich, sweet cherries to ripen.  Cherries have a natural heart-shaped essence, like the Flathead, which feels near and dear to my spirit.
