"She Carried More Than She Knew"
Part of "Portraits from Another Room" collection. Acrylic on canvas. 20" x 16"
2025
A visual metaphor for the emotional load one carries. Seen and unseen, held and balanced, offered and protected.
This piece is a convergence of three collections: a nod to The Nature of Us with its symbolic fruit, Chicken Stories with its tender grasp of the hen and eggs, and Portraits From Another Room with its backdrop.

The Owl Keeper *Sale Price $135 &. "Busy Was Her Quiet" *Sale Price $185
"The Owl Keeper"
Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection
Original Artwork, 8" x 10" Acrylic on Canvas, 2025
This painting was inspired by the extraordinary winter irruption of 2025, when Duluth became a haven for owls migrating south from Canada in search of food. Boreal owls — rarely seen and even more rarely photographed — arrived in an unexpected and remarkable influx, joined by the majestic great gray owls. These rare visitors, driven by a shortage of their primary food source, the vole, offered a haunting, beautiful presence across the landscape.
The owl, perched with trust, becomes a symbol of mystery, wisdom, and resilience — and the woman, its keeper, a quiet protector.
Thank you for honoring this rare moment with me – Amy

"Busy Was Her Quiet"
Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection
Original Artwork, Acrylic on Canvas, 2025, Canvas Dimensions: 12” x 12” Framed Dimensions: 13” x 13," Black Frame
"Busy Was Her Quiet" shows the constant activity inside her mind. The bees are the mind-noise...memories, hopes, worries, looping thoughts.
Anxiety is not always loud. Sometimes, it's polite.

Thank you for sharing in this moment – Amy
