Beauty and Loss

I grew up at my father’s butcher shop and living on my grandfather & uncle’s dairy farm. I have always felt very passionate about local agriculture, its importance to American culture, and its survival for future generations. I draw and paint what I know, and what I think is important to our society. When I’m not at work as a graphic designer, drawing, painting, or taking photos, I enjoy taking ballet lessons and hanging out with my husband, family, and corgis.

I display the destruction of nature and agriculture and its importance to American culture. My art depicts both Mother Nature and the local agriculturalist, along with the difficulties both face competing with the corporate man. Destruction of nature is represented by the omission of the environment; farm and forest animals are rendered on a white abyss. Counter to the removal of naturally occurring art, the pieces focusing on agricultural skills and trades, specifically butchery, bring to light these disappearing artisans. This catalog of endangered Americana is my attempt to remind us that what we have may not always be if it is cast aside.

Spring Palatte

It's time to put away the snow shovel and the winter blues. It is time to think Spring Palette. Warmer, softer pastels, like robin's egg blue, soft yellow, sea green, rosy pink.. or for a more vibrant jazz, lime green, hot pink, sun yellow! It is time to think bunnies and lambs, eggs and birds. It is time to think floral scarves, a new table runner announcing spring, or leaf and garden-themed jewelry. Think pretty! Think Spring Palette!

Off Track Art Gallery and Gifts has all these things and much more. Our Spring Palette Show opens the beginning of March and runs for two months, open every weekend. So lighten up! Warm up! Cheer up! Pretty up with something new and springy from Off Track Art and Gallery.
