Have you ever noticed how certain colors change your mood? A burst of neon pink can feel playful while deep blues invite calm. For me, painting is more than mixing pigments — it’s therapy, storytelling, and a reminder to embrace emotions that words can’t always hold.

“we’ll always be the one tough act to follow”

Painted in Denver, this was one of my first nude portraits. I was just starting to understand value and really simplified using just shadows and highlights.

When I first began layering fluorescent underpaintings beneath my portraits, I realized something: color doesn’t just look good, it feels good. The chaos of vibrant lines, the glow of unexpected hues, the way texture catches light all creates energy that transforms a blank wall into something alive.

That’s why I create art that’s unapologetically bold. Whether it’s a giclée print of a nude figure in electric greens, a whimsical cow piece that makes you smile, or a western landscape that connects you to open skies, my goal is the same: to let color become part of your daily rhythm.

At Hillustrated.com, you’ll find collections that celebrate this energy:
• Abstract portraits with layers of vibrant emotion
• Rustic western prints for warmth and grounding
• Playful pop-inspired canvases that spark joy the moment you walk by

Art doesn’t just decorate your space. It heals, inspires, and reminds you to live more fully.
