Hi, I’m Judith. I make mixed-media pieces inspired by creek walks, oak woods & the small miracles that the nature holds. I share my work to bring a little hope & healing through art, because we all need that more now than ever. 🧡

Think winter walks are miserable? They’re actually saving my sanity. Fresh air, filtered light, and unexpected fungi are keeping me going. Watch the video and tell me what keeps you grounded this time of year.

What if a tree could hold prayers & miracles? “New Mercies” began as a living, breathing prayer, layered with handwritten requests, 40 days of prayer & fasting, a bare tree that slowly transformed. As prayers were answered, leaves were added, each a testimony of hope, healing & God’s faithfulness.

Winter sucks.
I’d love to hibernate like a bear and wake up in April.

“Fake news” is real, but it’s not obvious and it doesn’t come from the sources some say it does. Until digital platforms make it a priority to make AI generated content obvious, we all must be vigilant.

Together, they bring me back to myself—and I hope they bring you back to you, too.

The tiniest spaces hold the biggest adventures.
I’ve always been drawn to mini worlds: dollhouses, dioramas, & the imagined lives happening in the corners we never notice. There’s something about going small that makes everything feel expansive & full of possibility.

What if you could step inside a moment of peace?
Sanctuary (20x20” mixed media on wood panel) captures a quiet vineyard afternoon beneath a majestic tree, a place where sunlight, stillness & shelter all meet.
Part of “Tree-mendous!” exhibit at SMUD. I’d love for you to experience it in person.

It’s the little things that shape the big picture.
Every brushstroke, every kindness, every choice to support a small business, these tiny moments truly add up.
If this idea resonates, come take a look at the small works and nature-inspired pieces I’ve created.

Ever been in a season so dark you wondered if light would ever return?
"Despite the Darkness" (48x36”) is a reminder that even in our deepest suffering, God hasn’t moved. Like Job, we can cling to the truths we do know: He’s with us, He loves us, and He will one day wipe every tear.

These treasures are now in someone’s holiday gift stash- I couldn’t resist giving you a sneak peek!
There’s nothing like gifting a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted artwork, especially when you know there’s zero chance they’ll unwrap a duplicate (definitely happens in my family every year 😂).

Small creatures like these are the bellwethers of our world. Our own survival depends on the same ecosystems, so tracking their health & well-being is essential to our own.

What if “letting go” could feel like coming home?
“Surrender,” mixed media on 8x8 panel, $275, is all about that quiet, nurturing rhythm in nature. Soft hues, layered textures, a gentle reminder that the circle of life is always holding us, even when we can’t see it.
