Discover New Pacific Northwest Artwork You Can’t Miss
There’s something magical about the Pacific Northwest in the fall—crisp air, golden leaves, and endless skies that remind you to slow down and take it all in. I’ve been spending a lot of time hiking these trails recently, soaking in the views and letting the rhythm of the mountains spark new ideas. That clarity and inspiration has flowed directly into my BIG SKY collection, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
BIG SKY: Original Pacific Northwest Art for Your Home
The BIG SKY exhibit is on view at Nuwave Gallery in Ellensburg, WA, from September through November. This collection celebrates the beauty of the Pacific Northwest through contemporary landscape paintings, original artwork, and limited edition prints. Each piece is paired with a favorite quote from John O’Donohue, and a poem I’ve written weaves through the show, inviting you to pause, reflect, and experience a sense of awe.
Whether you’re looking for original artwork for your living room, prints to inspire your office, or a custom piece for a one-of-a-kind gift, BIG SKY offers something special for every home. And if you can’t visit in person, you can explore and shop the collection anytime online at nuwavegallery.co/art.
First Friday Art Walk in Ellensburg: Fall Adventure Meets Art
One of my favorite ways to experience BIG SKY is during Ellensburg’s monthly First Friday Art Walk, and October is the perfect time to come. As a local artist living and working in Ellensburg, I love being part of this community-wide celebration of art, music, and creativity. The historic downtown district comes alive each month, with galleries, shops, and restaurants opening their doors for an evening full of inspiration and discovery.
This isn’t just a gallery visit—it’s a fall adventure. Stroll the streets of Ellensburg, enjoy live music, sip a warm beverage, explore charming shops, and immerse yourself in contemporary art, original paintings, and local culture. It’s the perfect outing for anyone looking to support local artists, collect unique artwork, or discover home décor that’s truly special.
Join me at Nuwave Gallery on Friday, October 3, 5–8 PM for:
Live painting — watch me create new BIG SKY artwork right in the gallery.
Live music by Jim Badders — the perfect soundtrack for a cozy fall evening.
Selsberg’s Chocolates pop-up — because every art walk deserves chocolate!
Star of the night: 8-year-old Kynlee — debuting her Community Wall show Kynlee’s Kreatures: Fins, Feathers and Fur, 21 colorful animals that invite you to see the world through her eyes.
Every month brings fresh art, new experiences, and surprises, making First Friday a fun, inspiring way to buy art, support artists, and explore beautiful homes in Ellensburg.
Fall Weekend Getaway: Art in Leavenworth
If you’re planning a fall weekend adventure, Leavenworth is stunning in October, with mountain hikes, golden leaves, and Bavarian charm. I’ll be at Art in the Park, October 10–12 (all day), showcasing unreleased originals, prints, and custom artwork. It’s a unique opportunity to meet me in person, explore my latest work, and take home pieces before they’re available anywhere else. Combine hiking, shopping, and collecting art for a truly memorable weekend.
Custom Artwork: Create Something One-of-a-Kind
If you want something perfectly tailored to your home or a special gift, I create custom artwork that captures your vision. I can work with:
Color palettes to match your décor
Landscapes or locations that are meaningful to you
Sizes and framing that fit your space perfectly
Custom commissions are limited, so now is the perfect time to reserve your spot and create a piece that’s uniquely yours. Whether for your living room, office, or as a gift, a custom painting brings beauty, personality, and a touch of the Pacific Northwest into any home.
Why Hire Me?
I don’t just paint—I live and breathe the landscapes I create. I hike, explore, and immerse myself in the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest so that every piece, whether it’s live event painting, a custom commission, or a ready-to-hang original, is infused with authenticity and passion. When you hire me or purchase my work, you’re getting a professional artist, curator, and designer who understands how art can elevate your home, inspire your life, and create lasting memories.
Come see what’s new—whether at Nuwave Gallery, First Friday Art Walk, Art in the Park in Leavenworth, or online. BIG SKY just got bigger, and there’s something here for every art lover, collector, and home décor enthusiast.
