The mornings are quieter now. The air feels still. The world feels a little more hushed — and sometimes, a little more heavy too.
And yet… something in us still longs for that lightness. That movement. That gentle reminder of life and beauty.
This collection grew out of that longing.
It’s for the moments when we realize how much we miss the small, joyful things — the songs in the morning, the flicker of wings, the feeling that the world is alive and good.
So this is a simple invitation:
Come slow down with me. Come notice again. Come listen again.
Missing Their Songs will be on display beginning:

January was a month of steady making and focused studio time. Daily bird sketches from December evolved into watercolor studies, oil paintings, and color explorations, while teaching continued to fill the studio with energy. Dedicated Thursday painting days—six uninterrupted hours each week—allowed for deep creative focus on both small works and larger canvases. By the end of each session I was exhausted but grateful, thankful for a season of life shaped by attention, creativity, and quiet joy.
