A digital painting from an original photograph taken in 2024. Martha was a busy lady. Something always had to get done. She truly tried to do her best but it was a lot, and she couldn't seem to get her sister to help with any of the preparations. She found, however, that a new path had been prepared just for her.

A digital painting from an original photograph taken in 2024. Martha was a busy lady. Something always had to get done. She truly tried to do her best but it was a lot, and she couldn't seem to get her sister to help with any of the preparations. She found, however, that a new path had been prepared just for her.

The word "Martha" is translated from Greek and Aramaic and it means “the Lady” or “the Mistress” as in the feminine version of The Master. Martha lived in Bethany, which was a two mile walk east from Jerusalem. In this piece, Martha’s path is the symbolic road upon which the sister of Lazarus had to walk. Martha struggled with resentment and a caustic spirit and, even though she was rebuked by Jesus, she was still loved by Jesus. She was the woman that provided for her family and guests, including Jesus. Her service was not unappreciated, even though Jesus said her sister’s service was the wiser of the choices. Martha’s path was harder but it still took her to faith and belief. This image is relatable for all since we all have a path to walk. A journey often fraught with danger, fear, and resentments.

This is art for the tastemakers: the interior designers who sculpt sanctuaries, the collectors who seek soul in their walls. My work draws from a tradition of elegance—think the poised restraint of early pictorialism, kissed by modern clarity. Here, every piece is destined to elevate spaces and spark conversation or create a haven of loveliness. My art is for people like me—those who laugh at life’s messes and still crave beauty that lasts.

I hope my art inspires people to put more real Art in their homes rather than cheap decor from from Amazon, Walmart, or Temu. I hope it inspires more people to collect and invest in Fine Art. I hope they begin to start art collections for their grand children and giving Fine Art as wedding gifts, graduation gifts, and other meaningful milestones.  

Because, as she says, "I find the stories of art collectors are intrinsically part of the pieces they collect. It is the artists that tell all our stories. That makes art into a creatively forged kinship between artist and collector. So, in all my work, I hope people see my work as a mirror of their own fineness and value. It's really yours. I made it for you."
