The Art Coast in Bloom
24 X 20, Oil on Canvas, 2026

The Art Coast in Bloom was inspired by the vibrant artistic spirit of Saugatuck, Michigan—long known as the “Art Coast.” In this painting, I wanted to transform a lovely floral arrangement into a warm, expressive human experience through heightened color, movement, and atmosphere. My goal was simple: to bring joy, beauty, and emotional warmth into the viewer’s day.
