    "Two Pair"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Two Pair, two yellow pears sit quietly against a vibrant green background, their curved forms seeming to lean toward one another — as if engaged in quiet conversation. The scene feels both intimate and familiar, like two souls sharing a moment only they can understand.


    This piece reflects the comfort of connection — those private spaces where we lay down our worries, speak our hearts, and simply be with someone who understands. It’s a reminder that even in uncertain moments, there’s solace in being seen and heard.

    "Grounded, Yet Falling"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Grounded, Yet Falling, an eggplant rests firmly on the ground — steady and unmoving — while a red apple falls from above, suspended in midair. Set against a warm yellow background and a crisp white tabletop, the scene feels both grounded and fleeting, still yet full of motion.


    This piece reflects the quiet strength of love — the way one soul can remain solid and steady while another feels as though they’re falling. The painting speaks to the balance we find in relationships — rooted in love, patience, and trust.


    It’s a reminder, that even when feeling as if tumbling through life’s uncertainties, there’s comfort in knowing someone is there — grounded, strong, and holding space for us to land.


    Thank you for connecting with this piece – Amy

    "Soulmates in Still Life"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Soulmates in Still Life, an eggplant rests firmly on the ground while a yellow pear curls up beside it, its stem gently reaching — almost cradling — the eggplant’s form. Set against a soft background, the two figures feel quietly connected, their closeness speaking volumes.


    This piece is a reflection of comfort, connection, and unwavering support. The pear’s gentle lean and tender embrace echo the way love offers both rest and reassurance — a presence that holds us steady through life’s uncertainties.


    It’s a quiet tribute to the soulmates in our lives — those who ground us, lift us, and fill our hearts with the warmth of belonging.


    Thank you for sharing in this vision – Amy

    "Peppered with Care"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Peppered with Care, a red pepper huddles closely behind a pea pod, its form leaning protectively over the three visible peas inside. Set against a rich green background, the piece feels tender and quiet — a visual tribute to love, loyalty, and the instinct to protect.


    This piece is about care — the kind that shields, comforts, and stays close, even when goodbyes feel impossible. It’s a reminder that love, no matter how quietly expressed, creates a bond that no wall or hardship can break.

    "Frayed Core"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Frayed Core, an apple rests quietly on a blue table, while abstract grapes seem to tumble and fall — full of movement. The composition feels both grounded and unsettled, a visual reflection of life’s imperfections and the beauty found within them.


    The piece speaks to the vulnerability — our frayed edges, our tender cores — and the strength that comes from sharing those struggles with someone who’s willing to hold them alongside us. Like the apple and the grapes, sometimes feeling unsteady or out of place, but love has the power to steady us.

    "Perpetual Fall"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Perpetual Fall, an orange orange, two blue oranges, and a scattering of green grapes and strawberries appear to tumble off the edge of a table — caught in a moment of endless descent. The fruit seems suspended in time, frozen in motion yet destined to fall.


    This piece reflects the feeling that time is slipping away faster than I can catch it. I painted this with the desire to hold on — to freeze the moments that feel too fleeting.


    The falling fruit became a symbol of that bittersweet truth — that no matter how much we wish we could pause time, life continues to move forward. Yet within that motion, there's beauty — in memories made, in love shared, and in the simple act of being present.

    "Crumbling Stillness"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Crumbling Stillness, a white water pitcher stands quietly beside a teetering bowl of blue grapes, perched precariously on the edge of a green and white table. Nearby, a disjointed blue wine glass adds to the sense of imbalance. Set against a bold red background, the scene feels both still and fragile — as if everything might collapse at any moment.


    This piece a reflection of self-doubt. The feeling of falling apart.


    Yet despite the instability in the painting, there’s stillness — a pause before the inevitable shift. The painting is a reminder that even in moments of doubt, trusting that balance can be found again.

  • Weight of the World — In Show — Stillwater

    8" x 10" (Canvas Size) Framed work

    Acrylic on Canvas, 2025    

    Available through ArtReach St. Croix in Stillwater, MN. 


    "Weight of the World"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Weight of the World, a yellow pear delicately balances a red apple on its slender stem — a quiet display of strength and fragility. Set against a soft white background with a pink floor, the scene feels still, yet weighted with unspoken tension — a moment suspended between balance and collapse.


    This piece mirrors the burdens we often carry, whether emotional, mental, or physical.


    This painting speaks to that quiet strength — the resilience we find in ourselves and in those who help steady us. It reflects the delicate balance of holding it all together, yet finding comfort in knowing we are not alone.


    Thank you for sharing in this reflection – Amy

  • Held Together — NFS

    8" x 10"

    Acrylic on Canvas, 2025   

    NFS. 


    "Held Together"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Held Together, a yellow pear leans gently against an upright eggplant, their forms pressed together in quiet support. Resting on a green floor with a blue shadow stretching across, the scene feels both grounded and intimate — a reflection of connection and trust.


    In this painting, the pear and the eggplant find balance through one another, each offering support as they hold each other upright.


    Held Together is about the comfort we find in those who anchor us — the ones who catch us when we’re unsteady and hold us close when we need it most. It’s a tribute to the quiet, steady love that keeps us grounded through life’s uncertain moments.

    "Imperfect Abundance"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    In Imperfect Abundance, a yellow pear, teal apples, and blue grapes rest on a yellow table — yet they seem to teeter, almost as if caught in motion, tumbling and uncertain.  The fruits are imperfect, yet full — vibrant and alive in their own way.


    This painting is a reflection of those moments of doubt — when all we can see are flaws. But sometimes, what feels imperfect is simply part of something fuller, richer, and more meaningful than we realize in the moment.


    This painting is a reminder to myself that beauty often reveals itself in unexpected ways — and sometimes, we need time to see it.

  • Blue Apples and Golden Light — NFS

    Original Artwork, 12" x 12" Canvas Size. Acrylic on Canvas, 2025, NFS


    The painting is finished with a protective varnish and comes wired, ready to hang.

    Part of my studio collection


    "Blue Apples and Golden Light"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    Blue Apples and Golden Light was the first piece in The Nature of Us series — a painting from  reflection. In this composition, a white water pitcher stands quietly behind a blue apple, resting on a rich purple tabletop. Nearby, a yellow pear stands upright, and a rust-colored bowl holds a gathering of purple grapes, one blue apple, and one green apple. The teal wall behind them adds a sense of calm, grounding the vibrant colors in warmth and light.


    This piece is deeply personal — a connection to my past. Years ago, I painted a still life featuring my blue apples. Returning to that imagery felt like holding a piece of my younger self in my hands — a way to remember that time, that version of me, and the feelings that shaped those early years as an artist.


    Blue Apples and Golden Light reignited my desire to explore connection, memory, and emotion through still life. It marked the beginning of the Nature of Us — a series that continues to reflect the stories, relationships, and quiet moments.


    Thank you for sharing in this memory – Amy

    "Table of Oranges"

    Part of the Nature of Us Collection


    Table of Oranges is a vibrant, abstract celebration of energy and movement. Viewed from above, a bright yellow table spills over with lively oranges — some resting on the surface, others teetering on the edge, and a few tumbling through the green air below.


    This piece is a reflection of my son — his energy, his joyful spirit, and our painting collaboration. Creating this painting was pure joy — a moment of letting go, capturing the excitement and unpredictability of those tumbling oranges.


    In many ways, Table of Oranges mirrors life itself — moments when we feel steady and secure, times when we’re on the brink of something unknown, and those weightless moments in between. Through it all, there’s movement, color, and the promise of landing — wherever that may be.


    Thank you for sharing in this joyful moment – Amy
