"Stillness and Stars"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

A portrait of what's seen and what's unseen. Her surface is visible. But the night sky and stars show her soul.

"The Nest She Wore"

Part of the Portraits from Another Room Collection

In The Nest She Wore, a woman sits with quiet elegance, her piercing green eyes echoing the leaves that bloom across the pink and yellow floral wallpaper behind her. Woven delicately into her hair is a bird’s nest — a symbol of home, nurture, and quiet strength — while a red cardinal perches gently on her shoulder, as if whispering something only she can hear.

Dressed in shades of red and pink that mirror the warmth of the wallpaper, she carries an air of timeless grace — classic, aged, and touched by something wistful. This piece explores the weight and beauty of caretaking, the way we carry our nests — our responsibilities, our tenderness, our hopes — often without speaking a word of it.

The Nest She Wore is a visual poem about memory, connection, and the beautiful tangle of what we carry in our minds and hearts.

Thank you for stepping into this story – Amy

She Belonged to the Pines

Part of the "Portraits From Another Room" Collection

In this portrait, a woman is poised in a high-collared lace dress adorned with strings of pearls that cascade softly down her chest. A chickadee, small and watchful, perches gently on her shoulder while antlers rise from her crown-like, reaching skyward. 

In "She Belonged to the Pines," she is living in two worlds—one civilized, the other feral. This painting is a reflection of what we often carry within us: a quiet longing for the wild, a return to something more instinctual.

Thank you for pausing with me. Amy

In "The Way She Looks at Love," a woman cradles a red hen close to her heart. Her gaze is soft, steady—full of affection. This painting is a quiet reminder that love is meant to be felt, held close, and seen. It speaks to the beauty of tenderness, showing softness is not weakness, and that vulnerability isn’t a flaw, but a form of courage.

Thank you for being here — Amy

"She Held the Unseen"

I woke up this morning and knew exactly what I wanted to paint... a chicken soul, made of the night sky.

"Generation Ears"

In this piece I am exploring an odd, modern phenomenon—the rise of wearable animal ears across every age, generation, and occasion. I thought about the filter apps too—the ones that gave us ears.

It’s innocent, right? Maybe. Or maybe something else is happening. Are the ears giving us permission to play, or merely just a costume we’ve been sold, and how costume culture is being marketed to us as a form of self-expression, is it a chance to feel a little out of place… or in place, or maybe in wearing them we become what industry wants us to become in the world.

I’m still thinking it through.
