Hello Fellow Artists! I'm honored to share some wonderful news! The very first painting in my new America 250 Collection 🇺🇸 is now hanging in the Mayor's Office in my hometown of St. Charles, Illinois! The original painting is available for purchase on my website. It will remain on display in the Mayor's Office through July 31, and if purchased before then, it will be carefully delivered to its new owner after the exhibit concludes.
As our country approaches its 250th anniversary, I felt inspired to begin a collection celebrating America's landscapes, wildlife, and enduring spirit. It seemed only fitting to begin with one of our nation's most recognizable symbols—a bald eagle. I've always loved painting wildlife, especially birds. Truth be told, watching the Big Bear Lake bald eagles' nest over the past two years probably had something to do with the inspiration, too! Over the coming months, I'll be dedicating more of my studio time to creating original artwork and building this collection. I'll be sharing the stories behind each painting, along with new originals and limited-edition prints as they're released.

Hello Fellow Artists! 🌸 I’ve got some good stuff for you today! My oil painting of the peony below taught me more than I expected—and I’m excited to share it with you! My latest video is out! I created two ways you can step inside the studio with me: • A peony infographic (with a downloadable reference photo)• A video tutorial where I share my four key takeaways, along with some of the tools and surfaces I’ve been experimenting with. My peony in oils 👉 You’ll also see the part of the painting...
White Roses in Oils, I had lots of fun experimenting with the background! Hello Fellow Artists! Something has been quietly growing in my studio these past few weeks. 🖌️ It’s sitting right next to my watercolor palette… but slowly taking over...it's oil paints! When I was a teenager, I had the best art instructor. I had never painted before—just drawing and a bit of pastels. But my instructor didn’t care, he threw me right into oils! He even took us out into the parking lot to paint the back...
"April Showers" Molly's Fine Art. My largest painting yet! Hello Fellow Artist! Yay! I just finished the largest watercolor I’ve ever painted! And I almost didn't finish it. 😳 For months, it was sitting on a chair, out of the way of the main part of my studio, halfway finished. And when I would see it, I would say to myself, "someday..." Then, thankfully, there was a call for art at my local art gallery, the theme was Spring. I glanced at the half-finished painting that had been waiting...
