  • Bassoon and Contrabassoon Reeds

    Painted in layered watercolor with ink accents, this piece celebrates the handmade precision of the double reed. By focusing on the tools of the craft, this artwork honors the patience and dedication required before a single note is even played. Thanks especially to Rhonda who sent me this beautiful photo of her reeds.

    Created on 300lb hot press paper, the original measures 8″ x 8″ and includes a certificate of authenticity. Prints are produced on archival paper to ensure the vibrant purples and greens remain true for years to come. Ships unframed.

    A thoughtful gift for bassoonists, contrabassoonists, or music educators looking to add a touch of color to a studio or reed-making desk.

  • Cello Headstock in Strawberry

    I painted the scroll and tuning pegs of a cello because this quiet corner holds so much history and touch. Strawberry tones soften the structure and bring warmth to the wood.

    I painted this after a watercolor workshop with my mentor Carol Carter, and I pushed the size and color farther than I usually do. I kept the original in a drawer for a long time, then decided it deserved to live as prints.

    I drew this by hand and painted it in watercolor. The original is not available. This listing is for a fine art print. Prints ship unframed.

  • Honey Colored Baritone Horn

    I painted this baritone horn for its rounded form and supportive voice. Honey tones give it warmth, weight, and a little glow.

    I photographed the source instrument at VMEA in 2025 because I love hunting for shiny brass at those tables. I built the color with undersea green, then I sparked it with nickel azo yellow so the pigments break and shimmer instead of behaving politely.

    I drew this by hand and painted it in watercolor. The original watercolor is available. It measures approximately 8″ x 9″ on 300 lb Arches hot press paper and includes a certificate of authenticity. Prints ship unframed.

    I painted this violin in saffron tones to capture warmth and motion, the feeling of sound rising before you even hear the first note.
