Inspired by a black-and-white photograph of my mother as a young girl, On the Line reimagines a fleeting family moment in rich, full color. A little blonde girl in a bright red dress anchors the scene, framed by a soft distant treeline and clean laundry billowing gently in the backyard breeze. It carries a tender, nostalgic warmth—a sweet reminder of childhood afternoons when the world felt simple, safe, and wide open.

It's hard not to be inspired by nature. I'm always looking for that next scene to paint, noticing how a place makes me feel, looking at light and shadow, taking photos, and capturing that feeling on the canvas. And, of course, always seeing everything in full, vibrant color.
