Palette Knife Oil Paintings
Now Showing:
A collection titled "Best of 2025" is currently on display at Sally Loo's Wholesome Cafe, 1804 Osos St, San Luis Obispo, CA. You will also find a wide selection of small greeting cards on the way to the register; these cards can be purchased at the counter along with your coffee or meal! Please contact me below for purchase inquiries or commissions.
I will also be at the Paso Robles Art in the Park, November 8-9. Hope to see you there!
I would love to send show updates and announcements of new work direct to your email. More informal snapshots sometimes go on my Instagram linked below.
These oils are a reflection of everyday experiences in my Central Coast backyard, captured dramatically on smooth wood panels. Each new work comes from a personal memory—walks with family and friends and sunrise hikes to unexpected drives through beautiful sunsets and unanticipated views of the gloriously ordinary. I hope you enjoy!
I paint directly on wood panels using only a palette knife, a style aimed at capturing the interplay of harmonious colors, organic shapes, and the fluid dynamism found in nature. Subtle variations of color, applied fluidly in one sitting, allow different hues to intermix and unify across a piece. If you are interested in a commission, please reach out through the form above!
Pieces at the top of the gallery are typically available, priced as marked. Please contact me through the form above for purchase, and I will reach out for pickup/shipping & payment. Thanks! 8.75% local sales tax will be added.
