Meet Kevin & Annabelle

 On a little farm in Eastern Oregon, two souls have quietly taken center stage: Kevin and Annabelle.


Meet the donkeys who inspire much of my art.



Grit & Grace

Kevin

 Kevin is the stoic dreamer. He stands tall with a steady gaze, as if he’s holding a thousand untold stories just behind his eyes. He’s the one who pauses before every step, reminding me that presence matters more than speed. There’s a grounded wisdom in his chocolate-and-vanilla coat, and though he wears his grit with pride, he softens the moment you lean in close.

Annabelle

 Annabelle, on the other hand, is pure grace wrapped in curiosity. She has a playful spark and a dry wit that shows up in the twitch of her ears and the nibble of her lips. While Kevin contemplates and hesitates, Annabelle immediately engages with her nibbles and nudges for affection, stealing the spotlight, and reminding us that joy is meant to be shared.

 Together, Kevin and Annabelle embody the essence of my work: grit and grace, humor and soul, dust and beauty. Through them, I’ve come to see not just animals in a pasture but crystal mirror of my own fears + behaviors. These wild, gentle, and endlessly wise souls. Enjoy!

Sunrise with Kevin + Annabelle

 As dawn breaks across the valley, Kevin and Annabelle peer curiously over a stack of wood, their tall ears catching the glow of the rising sun. Kevin {ever the charmer} leans into the moment while Annabelle searches for a treat. 

Together they embody the quiet poetry of farm life…a blend of grit, grace, and gentle humor.

Kevin's Mischief

 

 Kevin leans in with wide eyes, curious and unafraid. He has always been the brave one but a little too bold for Annabelle’s liking. His calm presence reminds us to embrace the unknown, lead with curiosity and never be afraid to take up your space.

Annabelle's Watcb

 While Kevin plays, Annabelle stands firm. Her dark eyes hold the weight of patience, wisdom and a quiet strength that cannot be rushed. This portrait honors her grounded soul…a steady companion who teaches the art of being present.
