When I am not making art I am hiking on trails near my home in the Pacific Northwest. Hiking became an addiction when I realized how much it helped with my back. It is an endless source of inspiration, exercise, and joy. My landscapes started as an album of sorts, a way to document my favorite images from hikes. Now they are one of my very favorite subjects.

My husband and I have a series of cutouts (as we call them) where I sketch an outline, he cuts it out with his scroll saw, I paint the art on MDF and he does all the woodwork of framing and fitting it all together. A lot of these have sold or been given to family before I ever measured them, so using the background for scale may help.
*Unless noted all art is on MDF and outlines were originally drawn by me.
Buffalo (ok, bison, I am one of those that call them buffalo) are so impressive in their size and their odd proportions. Each time I have been to Yellowstone I have seen them there, even when it was snowing. This scene is from a picture I took in the park. The tiny spot is a buffalo- you can see it’s horn and tail if you zoom in!
15.5”x22”
Available. Falls Creek Falls is my husband’s favorite waterfall and when we decided to make these cutouts it just seemed an obvious choice- I had to make a salmon with this beautiful waterfall down it.
10.75”x22”
Sold. I grew up going to Lone Elk Park when I was a kid in Missouri and we would often see bison there. We went back earlier this year to see my parents and I took a bunch of photos and this art is based off of those. The frame is traced from an outline of the same photo and flipped- my husband’s idea and it worked well!
Grizzlies used to roam Oregon, so framing Oregon’s highest peak with one seemed fitting!
9”x14”
Sold. The views from Tom Dick and Harry Mountain make it a favorite hike for my husband and I.
5.75”x11.25”
Sold. Timberline Lodge is a hiking, skiing, snowboarding, mountain-biking destination. It’s also where the exterior shots of The Shining took place.
12”x15.5”
My husband’s favorite park is Grand Teton. When we went together about a year ago I saw why. It is a beautiful place with the cleanest, freshest, pine-scented air. This painting is from pictures and video I took on a boat ride across Jenny Lake before hiking in the mountains. Glorious.
9”x14”
Sold. Inspired by a camping trip in Washington where the night sky was the clearest I’ve seen it. I actually saw the Milky Way! I am still in awe of it and had wanted to see it again, and saw it nearly as clear on our last camping trip to the same spot. Such an amazing thing to see.
11.5”x16.75”
Sold. I had a lot of fun with making the first Aurora Bear so I made a second version.
6”x9.75”
9”x11.5”
I have a friend with a secret (ish) fondness for unicorns so this was a Christmas gift to her.
NFS. The Wallowa Mountains are a really special place so I wanted to capture them from a fun trip my husband and I took there. We took the lift up Mt Howard and hiked all around up there and saw pikas for the first time. This piece commemorates that trip and is in my collection.
16.75”x18.25”
My Dad with the KC135 Stratotanker we made him. Cory took a stock photo off the internet and scaled it to print in sections to layer to make the plane’s outline exactly 1/100th scale. I painted the clouds and vapor trails.
Cory’s work- I just had the idea, picked out the Pendleton wool & painted the frame blue. Cory did this outline himself!
NFS
Made for a friend who is equally bear and space obsessed.
This cut out was made for our newest niece with a Korean red fox outline as she is half Korean and wildflowers from our hikes because we wanted to send some of our PNW to her. She loves yellow (it is also my favorite) so that explains the background.
This bear was made for a friend who’s trip to Alaska inspired it.
This was the very first cutout collaboration between Cory and I. We made it for our horse-loving niece. The wildflowers are all painted from pictures I have taken hiking here in the PNW.
I think someone’s face says a lot about them and if you can capture their expression it says even more. I strive to capture the person in a portrait, not just an image of the person.
