Rooted. Blooming. Unapologetic.
FINE ART oils + site-specific figurative works made to be felt, collected + lived with
"A flower growing through concrete is beautiful, but also defiant — something wild and alive still growing. That is the energy I keep returning to in my work."
MICHELLE CARNES, MFA, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibited at Sundance, SXSW, Google Intersection, and featured on NBC News
three WAYS TO BRING more life INTO YOUR space
ORIGINAL OILS
The Texture + Authenticity of Art Made by Hand
I believe there is something different about living with real art. An original painting carries the evidence of the human hand: brushstrokes, texture, movement, and small decisions that make it feel alive. My original work is made to bring feeling, atmosphere, and soul. A one-of-a-kind investment in something real.
PRINTS
Editions that Carry the Presence of the Original
Canvas and paper editions offer a beautiful, accessible way to bring meaningful artwork into your space when you want flexibility. Each print is curated from an original painting that has already sold and found its home. Once the original is owned, I may release a print edition so the work can continue to live on.
site-specific commissions
Bold Original Work for Spaces with a Story to Tell
With a background as a creative director, I approach each commission through both an emotional and visual lens. Whether created for a private home, brand environment, or special event, I consider the atmosphere, story, and emotional tone of the space. I understand how color, mood, and scale shape the way a space feels. Each commission is approached as a personal piece — made to bring meaning into the environment. I take on a limited number of commissioned projects each year so each piece receives the care, attention, and creative direction it deserves.
