 When this painting arrived in its new home, my client’s 2 1/2 year old daughter had this to say regarding the new addition: “It’s perfect for the party!” Keep in mind there’s no “party” in the books.
She’s right about one thing though: life should be celebrated. Don’t waste a second surrounding yourself with the people, the things & experiences that bring you joy.

There's a genuine excitement that courses when stars - and ethos - align. What a perfect partnership in form and function with the new Urban Hill Restaurant in downtown SLC. Thoughtful beauty, inpecapple details and innovative cuisine creates a most luxurious experience. I am delighted to contribute to SLC's aesthetic dynamism. Thanks to Urban Hill Semple Brown  I've always thought of my paintings as talismans for healing - I am cognizant that the energy infused into a painting is also the energy it exudes, so I was honored when a dear friend commissioned me to create a small painting for her mother who is receiving treatment at the hospital.
 Since I infuse the Utah environment into my paintings, I think it’s only right to give back to organizations advocating to protect the lands we love.
