Til Eternity Passes Away
Oil on Canvas, 20x20 inches, framed
Available at Connexions Momento Mori II show
Opening night October 10th, 7-10 pm
213 Northampton St, Easton PA

I usually like to share the story and inspiration behind the paintings I create, but for this piece I want to keep it open to interpretation. I was drawn to the idea of painting this woman because of the glow of her lantern, but beyond that I want the viewer to create their own story- who is this woman? What is she doing- is she watching
something? Waiting for someone? Is she alive? Dead? Full of hope? Sorrow? What story comes to mind when you look at this piece?

If you're local, I hope that you can see it in person, along with lots of other amazing artwork at the opening event at Connexions in downtown Easton.

A quick announcement if you're planning to order a hand-painted embryo watercolor painting- I have 3 spots left for December. Once those are filled, I'll be closing commissions for the rest of 2026.

As always, thank you for following along and supporting my artwork. I absolutely love painting your sweet embabies and preserving these special memories ❤️

SOLD
King of the Forest
16x20 inch Acrylic on Canvas, Framed

I can finally share that the King has sold (he was purchased as a gift so had to keep it quiet for a while). This was an experimental piece, an assignment that ended up being quite popular, and he even got to hang out at Easton Public Market for a bit too! 🤩

Even though I love the way he turned out and he was so much fun to create, this style of painting isn't really*my* style so I imagine he will remain one-of-a-kind. Swipe to see some fun and funky painting process photos. ☺️

How cute is this custom embryo painting? It will go into a sweet little Red Sox fan's nursery 🥰⚾

This piece is a digitally painted commission. If you'd like one of your own send me a DM or visit the link in my bio 😉

This pastel piece was for an assignment in which I had to draw what animal I see myself as. Big props to my friend Veronica for the suggestion of a doe, because I am calm, quiet, like to eat a lot and have big eyes 😂

I think it's such a thought provoking question, and a great way to self reflect (even though I couldn't come up with an answer for myself!). So, what kind of animal do you see yourself as?

I recently finished this custom embryo portrait with a special request- the buyer wanted to include her Golden Retriever 🥰 Swipe to see the sweet pup and the embryo photo.

Here's a sweet watercolor embryo commission I recently finished. This piece was made by hand using watercolor paints. Swipe to see the reference photo ❤️🥰

I have one more spot for October- DM me if you're interested in having an original painting of your own!

This study was an assignment, a white subject on white background painted alla prima, or all in one sitting with oil paints. It was a lot of fun to paint although alla prima painting can be challenging. I particularly enjoyed including the pastel prism-like colors which I've been wanting to incorporate into my paintings for a while.

This piece will be available for purchase once it's fully dry and varnished, so please dm me if you're interested! ☺️

This is a sweet embryo commission I made months ago but am now able to share. The moon in the center is the buyers' daughter, and each little embryo star surrounding her represents losses the couple wanted to memorialize. The slightly larger planet was an early miscarriage. This is such a meaningful piece of art and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to create it as a gift for the spouse of my buyer. 🥰❤️
