Inspired by my late-afternoon-barely-have-time-for-this hiking fetish, this series marks my first attempt to sell and show art. I’d been painting with oils for roughly a year and but it wasn’t until the fall of 2021 that things really started clicking. The series grew, every painting better than the last. I was ready. This series first debuted at Issaquah Coffee and then went on to show and sell at Venue in Ballard, Seattle.
