Resilience – 16″ x 19″ – Framed – Available – $525 – 4 Ravens Gallery
Here’s another sample from the online nuno felting class. I added a few silk paper trees with silk organza leaves.
Transitions – 16″ x 28″ – Framed – Available – $785 – 4 Ravens Gallery
Transitions uses a nuno felted background created by my friend Paula and I added the trees and foliage. I guess I’m ready for autumn!
Sanctuary – 16″ x 21″ – Framed – Available – $575 – 4 Ravens Gallery
I updated Sanctuary to add in the eagle on the branch. It reminds me of the eagles around here that always seem to be sitting in a dead tree.
Tranquility’s Edge – 15″ x 26.5″ Framed – Available – $700.00
I just love the colors in Tranquility’s Edge, so lush and verdant. If you’re in the Missoula area, I hope you will stop by 4 Ravens Gallery. They carry some amazing artwork from local Montana artists.

Painting the Landscape – 13″ x 29″ – Framed – Available – $675 – Four Ravens Gallery
I have been busy with my classwork but I have finished all of that work now. We will be having an exhibition at the Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Art Museum beginning February 25 through May 31st. I will update you with more information soon.
The framers have completed framing on two of my recent pieces. These will be going to 4 Ravens Gallery in Missoula and should be available after February 14th.
The First Leaf – 14″ x 18.5″ – Framed – Available – $450.00
This one based on birch trees in autumn, is called The First Leaf. I love the texture of the nuno felt against the smoothness of the birch trunks. The birch trunks are made from silk paper.
First Light – 13″ x 19″ – Framed – Available – $450.00
First Light is all about how the morning sun reacts in the forest. The color palette was an interesting change for me but I enjoyed the challenge.

Lots of people asked to see my recent landscapes once they had been framed. I get my work professionally framed with a narrow, black wooden frame. If you’re in Whitefish, MT and need some framing done, I highly recommend my framer, FoR Fine Art. They also have a wonderful art gallery in Whitefish and Bigfork, MT and Tucson, AZ.
Here are the two biggest pieces after framing. They are approximately 20″ x 30-32″.
Here’s a couple more that I completed over the winter.
And the last one with it’s new frame.
I have been working on getting new gallery representation and contacted a couple of places. I heard back from Northwest Handmade in Sandpoint, ID. I took 16 pieces over to them and will be taking them some snow dyed silk scarves when we go back by there in July. Yay, happy dance.
I decided to make a few more 5″ x 7″ pieces to take with me but didn’t get a chance to show them here. These are included in the 16 pieces that went to Sandpoint. If you happen to be in the area, please stop by and visit Northwest Handmade!
The five framed pieces shown at the top of the post weren’t ready when I went to Sandpoint. I picked them up from the framers and the next day, I heard back from 4 Ravens Gallery in Missoula, MT. They were interested in carrying my work too! Wow! Those five landscapes will be on display towards the end of June. Again, if you happen to be in Missoula, MT, please stop by and visit 4 Ravens Gallery.
It is great to have two galleries carrying my artwork but now I have to get busy and make some new pieces to replace any that sell. (I’m being hopeful and thinking positively.)
