Door County, A Place That Transforms & Inspires

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. 

​

Door County, Wisconsin — with its breathtaking shorelines, blossoming orchards, and rustic charm — has a way of capturing hearts. It’s here that I first opened a gallery inside our bed and breakfast in Fish Creek, where I welcomed collectors for five wonderful years. After selling that property, I continued my journey by opening a stand-alone gallery in Ephraim, which I owned and operated for three more years.

 

Altogether, those eight years of sharing my paintings in Door County galleries remain some of the most meaningful in my career. Now, through my online gallery, Door County Artworks, I’m delighted to continue celebrating the region’s coastal beauty, natural charm, and artsy spirit with collectors everywhere.​

​

 

Thank you for being here. Just as art has been a guiding light in my own life, I hope it brings you moments of beauty, connection, and joy.

— With love and appreciation,  🍒
