Shapes of the Land

Munka Beans Coffee Shop and Sunshine Cafe in downtown Hopkins

My first showing at a Coffee Shop and it was a great experience. Friends and family joined me for an opening celebration. The colors of the walls accented my paintings and my paintings brightened up the walls. I'd love to show more work there again. Thank you to Thomas, the owner.

Working Large


















Working on My Forest In My Mind. This is the largest I have worked and I am excited to see it when I am finished! I like to experiment with perspective and dimension. I hope that this large scale painting will provide the viewer more opportunities for exploration.
