Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit my website. As a Black Mountain, NC, resident who has exhibited my paintings in Asheville, I was one of hundreds of artists severely impacted by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Helene, which struck Western North Carolina in late September 2024. Surging floodwaters, forceful winds, downed trees and cascading landslides caused unprecedented damage and claimed more than 100 lives.
Flooding devastated much of Asheville's River Arts District, destroying some venues and heavily damaging others -- including Trackside Studios, which housed some of my paintings. Though Trackside has since reopened, I do not currently have artwork there. You can always view my paintings here on my website, however, and on my "Heaven and Earth Art" Facebook page, as well as on Instagram (@black_mountain_artist).
This page shows all of my paintings. Click on an image to see its dimensions and medium. You'll also see a "Go to" link that you can click on to email me with comments or questions, including about pricing. Paintings that have already sold say so in their descriptions and also appear on the "Archived Paintings" page.
For now, I'm continuing to process the tragedy that has affected so many. I am hopeful that, through the mysterious alchemy of creative work, beauty will somehow emerge from the painful events associated with Helene. In the meantime, my heartfelt thanks for your understanding, interest and support.
