Plein air at Elk Cove Vineyard @elkcove in Gaston - a hot afternoon, mid-September, just before the harvest. I loved this beautiful spot - hoping to paint more views in different seasons!

Netarts Bay Sunset
18x24" watercolor, 2026

* Original painting available at @rentalsalesgallerypam for rental and purchase
* Prints available on my website

"Netarts Bay Sunset" is included in Rental Sales Gallery's Fall Show, opening this Friday Sept 25 from 4-7pm and continuing thru October 31.

On this evening, a canoe laden with crab pots is silhouetted against the colorful waters, gliding home with their catch before last light. Low tide reveals ripples and currents carved into the sandy shore in this view from Happy Camp Beach.

Netarts has been one of my favorite places since I moved to Oregon from Kauai 12 years ago. Somehow this is the first time I've painted the view from Happy Camp.

Burnt Cove from Open Harbor
Deer Isle, Maine
11x14" plein air watercolor
2026

Pink granite, orange kelp, gray mud. Blue morning fading into a misty day, and that transparent sea green of the slow, cold water rising, falling, nourishing.

Klamath Basket
2025
Reclaimed fishing rope, thread

On display now at Grants Pass Museum of Art @grantspassmuseumofart in the @osuartaboutagriculture touring exhibit.

Klamath Basket commemorates the return of salmon to 420 miles of the Klamath River in Oregon and California, following the world's largest dam removal project in 2024. Within 10 days of dam removal, more than 6,000 Chinook salmon were observed migrating upstream into habitat that was blocked by multiple dams for over 100 years.

Stitched from reclaimed fishing gear sourced from the Klamath River, as well as ocean fisheries and beach cleanups in the Pacific Northwest and Kauai.

This artwork was made possible through the generous welcome, sharing of knowledge, and support I received from Native artists and culture bearers Brittany Britton @2brittbritt2 and Julian Markussen Jr. @julian_jr1 for my 2023 exhibit of Ghost Net Landscape at Cal Poly Humboldt @calpolyhumboldtgalleries. Swipe for a mini-clip of my Klamath River tour with Julian ~ link in bio for a longer video, originally included with his permission in Ghost Net Landscape 2023.
