| These peppers are done with oils. They hang in the kitchen. |

| This grove of trees I did in acrylics and Chris helped refinished the frame. I gifted it for Christmas a couple years ago. |

| This is probably the first watercolor I ever did. I kinda have a thing for trees, I guess. This is hanging in my mom’s office. |
 |
| I did this large stretched canvas in oil of winter trees a few years back. It is probably one of my favorite paintings I have done. It hangs in the guest room. |

| An ink drawing of my mom and her brothers and sisters at the beach. It hangs in the master bathroom. |

| I did these three 9″x9″ acrylic paintings for Christmas 2010. They are the three homes my parents have owned. They loved the gift and they hang side by side in the dining room. |

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

Yes they are proud parents of your art work. I gifted my first DoublClik print last summer, and I think this past Spring Break it was still on the lower shelf of the table by the door. By the shoes…
