"Hey everyone! Welcome to OBRA KO 'TO, my little gallery space where I share my art adventures. You'll find my first attempts at oil landscapes, many inspired by the gorgeous South Lake Tahoe, plus a dive into the world of charcoal art.

It all kicked off when someone encouraged me to just give it a try. Now, I'm still figuring things out and loving it, and I'd be thrilled to hear from other art lovers and creators!

It's been such a joy seeing my artwork find its way into different spots around this beautiful area! Some pieces have brought a touch of the Sierra Nevada's peace to cozy homes, while others add a splash of Tahoe's vibrancy to local shops and businesses. It's really special to think about how my paintings can connect with people in these different ways and bring a little bit of the landscapes I love into their daily lives.

Hot off the press …

Come on in and see what's new in my "Obra Ko 'To" collection! You can check out all my latest paintings, inspired by the gorgeous scenery around the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe – it's where I get so many of my ideas! Plus, I've added some peeks into my recent live painting sessions, so you can see how the magic happens. Stick around for updates on shows, events, and all the newest stuff I'm creating!

Tonight was a night to remember! As a first-time participant in an art contest, I wasn’t sure what to expect in “The Office BOSS Amateur Participate Contest Sierra Dreams.” To walk away with 3rd place for my oil painting “Glacier Falls” is absolutely incredible and truly means the world to me. It’s been a journey and this motivates me to keep creating! Take a look at the photos from the event! #artistjourney #artcontestwin #placed #painting #oilpaint #glacierfalls #sierradreamscontest #creativejourney #artlife #thankful #obrakoto
