Winter’s stillness is fading, and the world is waking up. Market season is around the corner. Spring is near. This is the season of renewal, of planting seeds—both in the earth and within ourselves.

Now is the time to set intentions, to nurture our dreams, and to carry our momentum forward.

For me, that dream is bold: one day, I want to be on the cover of TIME Magazine as Artist of the Year.

It may seem far away, but every piece I create, every market I attend, every moment I dedicate to my craft is a step closer.

So, here’s to chasing dreams, to growth, to the power of believing in what we can build. What seeds are you planting this season?

I love how each season brings its own magic! ✨ The cozy crunch of autumn leaves 🍂, the way winter snow sparkles on the evergreens ❄️🌲, the fresh breeze and bright blooms of spring 🌸, and the warmth of the sun with rushing waters in summer ☀️🌊.

This winter has been extra fun as I’ve been improving my snowboarding 🏂 and enjoying the snow more than ever! But I’m also getting excited for market season. I’ve been applying to markets across Washington and can’t wait to (hopefully!) be back out there, sharing my latest artwork with you in person.

I’ve been busy drawing ✍️ and have some exciting new pieces to reveal! I can’t wait to hear your stories, catch up, and take your suggestions on what to draw next. See you this summer! 😃🎨

🔥 Something exciting just dropped on the blog! What does Peoh Point, a challenge coin, and our amazing firefighters have in common? 🏔️🚒 Check it out and see how this special project came to life!

If you’ve ever held a challenge coin, you know it’s more than just a piece of metal—it’s a symbol of honor, unity, and tradition. Challenge coins have a rich history, dating back to military service, where they were used to signify camaraderie and recognition. Over time, this tradition has e...

I Love Customer Creativity!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—I absolutely love seeing how people mix and match my artwork! 💛

This stunning display features one of my Collector’s Edition pieces (18x24”) beautifully flanked by four of my National Park Size artworks (12x18”). I’ve never seen this arrangement before, and I’m obsessed with the balance and flow it creates!

Seeing how my pieces become part of your home is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Thank you to this amazing customer for sharing your space and your creativity with me!

How do you display your favorite artwork? Let me know in the comments or send me a photo—I’d love to see it!

With the main summer season for markets behind us, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. This was my second year doing the markets, and if anything, I love it even more. Connecting with all of you, hearing your stories, and sharing in the memories that my artwork brings up has been the best part of this journey. So many of you returned this year, telling me about the places you’ve visited, the loved ones you were with, and the moments that make these places so special.

It’s clear that 90% of the reason people buy my art isn’t just for a piece of Washington—it’s for a memory, a feeling, a celebration of something meaningful. Knowing I get to create something that brings those memories to life is a blessing, and it’s why I do what I do.

As I continue to explore and capture the beauty of Washington, I promise that there will be new art for 2025, all rooted in my mantra: celebrate the things you love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported me and shared their memories along the way. Here’s to more stories, more memories, and more beautiful places.

A huge thank you to Jaime Ramos and his girlfriend for sharing this beautiful shot of my Lake Cle Elum artwork, right at the lake itself! I loved getting to know you both at the farmers market—your kindness and support truly mean the world. It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do! 💚🌲

Introducing the new version of my Lake Easton print! 🌲🎨 I’m always working to improve my craft and value your feedback on new locations to draw. After reevaluating my first Lake Easton drawing, I felt it didn’t fully capture its essence. So, I went back to the drawing board and made some changes. This new version has more vibrant colors in the water and sky, giving it a warmer feel compared to the original. I hope it does this beautiful area justice. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I’ve never felt at home more than I do here in Cle Elum and the markets are a big part of this as it makes me feel connected to my community. Thank you to everyone that went to the markets this week 💕 Our friendships and family are what make our community so wonderful and I feel the market inspires and cultivates both. Better together 🧩

Did I mention I love customer send ins? 😍
🌲✨ One of the best parts of running I Love Cle Elum is seeing where my art ends up! I absolutely love when customers send in photos of their spaces featuring my pieces. The creativity and unique styles you all bring to framing and displaying the artwork are truly awesome.

Whether it’s a cozy living room, a vibrant office, or an adventurous outdoor setup, every send in I get reminds me why I create – to connect with fellow nature lovers and bring a piece of the Pacific Northwest into your homes.

Keep sharing your amazing setups and tag me in your posts! Your creativity makes our community even more special. 💚

Just because I like seeing my Instagram feed in sets of three 😂 small business owners can relate. It’s a visual thing.

So far I’ve shown you guys, my Cooper Lake, Alpental, and Lake Kachess jigsaw puzzles but don’t worry if you don’t see the one you want, all of my artwork is being made into a puzzle. I’ll keep you all updated as soon as I get them 🤩 hope everyone is happy, enjoying the sunshine and having a wonderful week. Thank you for all of your support and interest in my artwork, it means the world to me. Aborting post now before it gets sad and soppy.

Wait what? That’s a new one….
Oyes my friends. Someone got ahead of themselves and finished my limited edition winter artwork early this year 😬

It’s me, I’m the person 🤭🤓

Last year my winter piece was Hex Mountain, an amazing hike which is one of the mountains on the side of Lake Cle Elum, great snowshoeing and snowmobiling spot. This year I’ve featured Alpental at The Summit, Snoqualmie Pass. 🎿⛷️ 🏂 and I decided to make it into a puzzle as well as artwork!

Help me get the word out and tag someone that needs this jigsaw puzzle! 🧩

I hope you’re as excited as I am about this update ! 🎉 I’ve just finalized the box designs for some 336-piece puzzles featuring my artwork. They’re currently in production and should be ready in the next 3 to 4 weeks. Each puzzle will be available for $23, and I’ll have them with me at the Ellensburg and Roslyn Farmers Market on Saturdays and Sundays. I will also add these to my website after I’ve got them and take some product photos 🤓

It’s truly fun and humbling to see my artwork on this new product. I received a sample puzzle a couple of months ago and was thrilled with the quality and vibrant colors. This 336-piece puzzle is deceptively challenging—just the right amount of difficulty without being overwhelming.

The other exciting element is that these puzzles are exactly 12 x 18” when completed. This means you can frame the puzzle and use it as artwork or put it back in the box for another fun day of puzzling.

I’m excited to share this new product with you and can’t wait to hear your feedback. Come check it out!
