Meadow Portal
The first in my series of portal paintings, the limited color palette of this piece makes it feel dreamy and mystical. Mountain meadows act like natural sponges, storing water from snowmelt and rainfall. They are crucial habitats for wildlife and gateways into mountain terrain.
This meadow is an imagined place, woven together from the many public lands where I’ve spent time: the Wind River Wilderness of Wyoming, the Flat Tops of Colorado, and New Mexico’s Carson National Forest.
As part of my Portal Series, it explores the idea of natural spaces as sanctuaries—both for people and for the unique ecologies they hold. Just as the arched doorways of Gothic churches were designed to inspire reverence, these landscapes act as thresholds—places that invite presence, stillness, and a deeper connection to place.
Each painting invites you to pause, step into the scene, and reflect on your relationship with the natural world. Their purpose is to invite contemplation and be gently returned to yourself, and to your why— to reconnect with the beautiful fragility of the ecology of our brief time on the planet.
