Out-of-town shows (Shoshone, Hailey) now tentative this year —full booth in Nampa in August.

The original works of art showcased on my website may seem to have “no rhyme or reason” when it comes to pricing! But let me explain—there is a method to my madness.

I have always been prolific in my creativity. It’s not just what I do—it’s who I am. Painting is my life, and at this stage of my career, I paint every day. Not just one piece, but often several. My mind overflows with ideas and visions eager to be set free on canvas.

When I paint, I begin with a clear vision in my mind and a plan for how I intend to create it. Painting is more than creativity—it’s a discipline that trains my brain to interpret, beautifully and magically, the visions I hold within. It pushes me to overcome the challenges my mind faces while honing my artistic skills with every brushstroke. Every painting is a challenge—an exercise in disciplining my brain to accomplish what I set out to do. I push myself to try new techniques, master difficult concepts, and bring my imagination to life. The joy is in the process, and the reward is in the outcome.

My artistic journey doesn’t end at the easel. Sharing my work is part of the challenge—from writing, posting, and listing to the physical effort of transporting and setting up for shows. It's all part of my mission to "keep on going" and continue creating.

Now, about my pricing…

If a painting doesn’t achieve the vision I had for it—if it falls short of my artistic goal—I price it “cheap,” sometimes as low as $20. It may sound silly, but it’s my way of holding myself accountable—a kind of ‘sacrifice’ or ‘penalty’ for not achieving what I set out to do. The piece may still be quite beautiful, but if it didn’t meet my intended outcome, I mark it as such and move on. I rarely rework a painting; I simply call it “done” and start fresh on the next canvas.

My pricing, therefore, reflects my process and progress. With every piece, I learn something new—techniques, color palettes, or textures. And when I channel all those lessons into a painting that does meet my vision—the result is a piece that carries the value of my growth and determination.

Art, like music or fashion, is deeply personal. Everyone has their own taste. What feels extraordinary to you may seem modestly priced, while another piece might feel “too dear” for your liking. That’s the beauty of art—it connects with us all differently.

Now you have a glimpse into my artistic mind—and why my pricing is as unique as the art itself.
