Like Mother, Like Daughter empty Three leaves on a purple

Three leaves on a purple background

wild hair reflecting her unbounded nature and ability to destroy ignorance

A hummingbird taking a break on a tree branch

Oil on canvas palette knife painting of seascape

This painting reflects the joy I get by playing with paint and mixed media

Like Mother, Like Daughter empty Three leaves on a purple"Like Mother, Like Daughter" (2026) is inspired by photography from Puget Sound Express whale watching tours. A baby orca clings to her mother's side in the choppy, rainy waters of Puget Sound. Her dorsal fin dips below the surface as her mother's remains upright; like a toddler learning to walk, she is safely teetering along the surface with her mother there to support her.
