…..Beth and Andrew decided to just trust that the stable horse knew where to go and what to do…..

"Love in the High Desert" is a stunning painting that transports viewers to the enchanting American Southwest, where the beauty of nature and the bonds of love come together in perfect harmony. This work of art captures the essence of a couple deeply connected, portrayed through a unique blend of collage, acrylic paint, and ink.

The geometric, flat-colored aesthetic brings a modern twist to the traditional desert landscape, as a couple embrace on horseback in a tender moment under the captivating sky. The warm, earthy tones and intricate details bring a sense of peace and serenity to the viewer, inviting them to bask in the beauty of love and nature. Truly a work of art that inspires and uplifts the soul.

My mixed media paintings consist of acrylic paint and digital collage. They are painted on museum quality archival paper and then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and then framed in a black floater frame. Each piece begins as a digital study on an iPad where the basic composition and coloring is determined before the hand painted original is started.
