Hello and welcome! I am an abstract artist based in a small town on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park. A far cry from where I received my degree in textile design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.  The beauty of nature and emotions, along with my love of textiles and designs are woven together in all of my paintings.  I am drawn to painting soft and textured pieces as well as bright and bold abstracts, with the occasional floral and fauna piece. Creating is my passion and it is a delicate balance between intention and impulse. It fills me with purpose and allows me to translate my feelings and dreams in a way words cannot. My hope is that my art gives the viewer a moment of beauty, a moment of joy, and a moment of rest in this frenetic world. I would love for my art to bring those feelings into your home and I am so thankful you are here. Enjoy!

Testimonials

 

“We commissioned Hope to complete a large piece for our newly remodeled bathroom and we gave her a pretty tight time schedule since we were selling our home. All we gave her was our color scheme and my husband asked that it be ‘joyful.’ Wow! We love what she created and so appreciate how she came through given a tight time frame. I look forward to having her complete a piece for our new home!”

“Hope was an absolute dream to work with on a commissioned project. She did 3 unique paintings as part of a series, blending modern geometric shapes with natural landscapes. She was able to take our idea and run with it. It turned out even better than we imagined. With each step, from ideation to the finished canvases, she went the extra mile to ensure we loved the final product.”

“My husband and I worked with Hope to commission an acrylic painting in celebration of a milestone birthday... we stumbled across her work at our local coffee shop, and little did we know what a gem we had discovered! Everything about working with Hope was exceptional - she is a fantastic and timely communicator, she has a strong aesthetic style but is also open to feedback and requests, and of course the work product is beautiful. She came to visit our home to discuss our vision for the piece and took enormous care to reflect our intentions in the painting. Thank you so much!”
