Northern Exposure

Northern Exposure is a deeply personal painting inspired by my love for the Pacific Northwest and the quiet magic woven into its landscapes and wildlife. Animals native to the region gather in gentle harmony beneath a wide, open sky, creating a moment that feels both reverent and dreamlike—an echo of the freedom and breath of the coastal wilderness.

At the heart of the piece is a young girl, not separate from nature but embraced by it. She wears this gathering of creatures like a living crown, symbolizing balance, belonging, and the idea that humans are meant to exist within the natural world, not apart from it. Each animal acts as a quiet guardian, representing curiosity, resilience, and interconnectedness.

This painting is my love letter to the land that inspires me daily. It speaks to stewardship, wonder, and our shared responsibility to protect what sustains us. Created as a reflection of my deep connection to the Pacific Northwest, Northern Exposure carries a timeless presence—ideal for collectors drawn to nature-inspired narratives, symbolism, and artworks that celebrate coexistence and guardianship of the wild.
