I've arrived at the 2026 Plein Air Convention in scenic Branson, Missouri, nestled in the Ozarks. I've officially registered as a Faculty Artist, signed palettes for the event giveaways, and delivered my books to the PACE store, and now I'm absorbing the vibrant creative atmosphere already permeating this exceptional event. I'm filled with enthusiasm, gratitude, and anticipation for an inspiring week amidst artists from around the globe. The stage is set for a week of artistic expression, creativity, and Ozark charm to unfold.

Guilded Light - 40x40, An original acrylic abstract - a meditation on contrast and radiance, where soft silver tones rise across the canvas and subtle gold accents catch the light, creating a calm, refined, and quietly uplifting presence. www.graydesigns.org

Rue d’Amour
Oil on canvas, 22 × 36

This painting lived on my easel for three weeks, unfolding slowly and lovingly. As I painted, I found myself transported to Europe — into a gentler rhythm of life where hands are held, beauty is noticed, and time softens.

Rue d’Amour reflects a longing for an unhurried, affectionate way of being: strolling through life together, surrounded by color, flowers, and warmth. It is a meditation on companionship, elegance, and the quiet intimacy of sharing life’s paths side by side with ease.

✨ Homegrown Serenity ✨
This sweet Tuscan-inspired landscape earned Third Place in Oils at Off Track Gallery — and last month it also took Second Place at North Coastal Art Gallery.

It recently sold (thank you to the collector!). And now, prints are now available for anyone who fell in love with this piece. 💛🌿

For me, there’s something about the rolling color fields, tall cypress trees, and quiet farmhouse that still makes me breathe a little deeper every time I look at it. A reminder that serenity can be homegrown — inside us, around us, and in the art we create.

DM me for print sizes & pricing.

✨ Today is the day!✨

I am so excited to share the pre-launch of my new Instagram channel: Life as Art, Art as Life 🎨🌿

For years, I’ve been carrying this idea in my heart — that life itself is a form of art, and art is a way of living. While in Athens, the land of philosophers, I realized this isn’t just an idea, it’s my own lived philosophy. 🌍💭

This channel will be a space for beauty, symbolism, philosophy, and creative expression — where things are not always as they seem, and where the deeper meaning and artistry of life reveal themselves.

Please help me grow this journey by subscribing and following along. Together, let’s celebrate the art within life and the life within art. 🌞💫
