The Essence of a Year -
in color and texture
This collection invites you to journey through the changing seasons of the Pacific Northwest. Each of the twelve large-scale paintings (36" x 36") captures the spirit of a single month, translating its mood and atmosphere into color and texture.
​
Through vibrant hues and layered surfaces, each month is distilled to its essence—a story of nature told in paint. Inspired by photographs taken on walks in the place I call home, This decade-long project unfolded slowly, one month at a time.
Reading the Tapestry
As your eye moves through the collection, you’ll notice how the year begins with quiet energy and hope, even in the cold, dark days of winter. Spring follows with its gentle rains, soon giving way to the vibrant blooms that carry us into the lush greenery of summer. From there, the warm tones of autumn guide us toward the close of the year, ending with the calm of a peaceful night sky.
Let's Talk
I’d love to share this unique collection of paintings with you. It is designed for easy, flexible installation, so you can create a layout that feels just right in your space.
​
Every month has its own story. When I painted them, I was thinking about the shifting seasons—can you see the soft rain in March, or the bare trees in November? Each painting carries a moment of time with it.
