Nature's Joyful Glory
Bringing the Beauty of Nature
Into Your Home
A vibrant splash of color, the delicate grace of your favorite flowers, the song of birds in flight, the wonders of wildlife, and the serenity of breathtaking landscapes—each element is thoughtfully crafted to bring the timeless beauty of creation into your home. Every brushstroke is a tribute to the glory of God, with nature’s boundless diversity—its colors, textures, and forms—speaking volumes of His majestic design. My paintings are more than just art; they are expressions of divine beauty, created to bring joy, peace, and the abundant blessings of the natural world into your life, all while honoring the Creator who made it so.

Welcome to my site!
It brings me great joy to share my art with you. My work is born from a
deep love for nature, a fascination with the vibrant colors that fill this world, and the immense satisfaction I find in the creative process. Above all, each piece of art is an offering of glory and praise to God, acknowledging the breathtaking beauty He has woven into every corner of creation.
Here, you'll discover:
~ Wildlife Paintings: The profound beauty of animal families is an awe-inspiring testament to the depth of love, care, and nurturing that exists within the animal kingdom. Their bonds often speak louder than words, offering us a glimpse into the power of selfless connection. These intimate moments between creatures are reminders for us all—perhaps we humans have much to learn from them about compassion, empathy, and how to foster more meaningful, caring relationships in our own lives and with the world around us.
~ Landscape Paintings: Scenes that celebrate the stunning beauty of diverse places within this magnificent world—a reminder of the natural wonders we are fortunate enough to share and protect.
~ Butterfly and Bird Paintings: I realize deep within myself that a part of me should have been an ornithologist, I pour my heart into capturing the elegance and freedom of birds. Their flight is a tribute to the incredible diversity of life.
~ Floral Art: Beautiful blossoms, each one a testament to nature's delicate intricacy. I find joy in gardening, and for me, cultivating a garden is a sacred act—a walk with God Himself, who, after all, began it all in a garden.
~ Books: Engaging Christian fantasy novels for kids and teens, where dragons soar as heroes and young scientists bring mythical creatures to life in the real world.
I invite you to explore, enjoy, and perhaps even find a little inspiration as you journey through my work, all of which is intended to reflect the glorious creativity of our Creator.

What's New
For the first time ever, I’ve entered a series of three paintings into ArtPrize Grand Rapids—and I’m thrilled to share that all three have been accepted! Even more exciting, they’ll be exhibited at one of the event’s larger venues: Cornerstone Church in the historic Heritage Hill district.
"Flying Free"
I am utterly captivated by birds, and this three-part piece, "Flying Free," is a celebration of their beauty, strength, and grace. The vibrant colors of macaws soaring through their natural rainforest habitat—unhindered and utterly free—capture the essence of true freedom. While I may never journey to the rainforest to witness these magnificent creatures in their wild, unspoiled environment, creating this work has brought me a little closer to that experience, allowing me to feel their presence in a deeply personal way. My hope is that as you view these pieces, you, too, will feel that same sense of awe and connection with these incredible birds and the wild world they inhabit.
Each image is created using oil on canvas.
Sizes: 20" x 36", 40" x 30", 20" x 36"
