So I kind of went viral on TikTok with my latest video of one of my paintings - approaching 180,000 views and 39,000 likes. Crazy. But there’s some very kind people there. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ABJjjx/

If you were wondering…Butterflies in the Sky, 24”x24”, acrylic on panel is flat. It took more than 200 hours to paint plus three days to build the cookie model. Hope it makes you smile! #painting #realism #paint #acrylic #acrylicpaint #artist #artists #blueskyart #blueskyartists #modernpainting

Hi Stephanie, I’m sorry I missed your message! I’ll be taking commissions in again early next year, as I’m working on pieces for my next show right now. My gallery, Hidell Brooks, coordinates all of my commissions, so if you’d like them to contact you, we can coordinate that. Thank you!

Work in progress, acrylic painting on panel of a scene of a horse, barn, clouds, sky, butterfly and flowers, based on a model of decorated sugar cookies and frosting and a pretzel stick fence. The painting is flat but painted to look three-dimensional. For my 2026 cookie landscapes show at Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina.
