In Cardinal Christmas I wanted to create a bright, cheery nature-themed artwork for the Winter holidays, with bright reds against a wintery sky. If you look closely you will also see delicate pine cones tucked in tufts of snow and delicate pine needles – I wanted to make sure that first and foremost were the cheery reds but I still wanted to keep a woodland theme as well. Cardinal Christmas, with its lively cardinal birds and poinsettias, was the last work I created in December 2015. Available in Limited Edition prints and more, available at Create.bz.

Autumn Uninterrupted is my homage to M.C. Escher’s technique, because each outline of a leaf helps to form an outline of another leaf. I also wanted to create the tumbling chaos and beautiful color of fall leaves, inspired by my love of nature and the beautiful fall colors I experienced on the East Coast. The more you look at this artwork, the more leaves you will see, and in fact it is my hope that you can find yourself in a reverie of fall leaves!
