Howdy Blossoms!

I am a landscape painter based in Austin who loves hiking through Texas – from city sidewalks and Hill Country trails to the sandy beaches along the Gulf Coast. Each hike reveals a wealth of visual treasures, and I am always surprised by nature’s endless patterns and vibrant color palettes. My paintings work as a visual journal of my adventures.

Howdy Blossoms! is a celebration of Texas hospitality and natural beauty. This colorful cow is blooming from head to hoof in native wildflowers … bluebonnets, coneflowers, buttercups, poppies, winecups, and more. Fluttering among the petals are monarch butterflies, symbolizing the journey that brings visitors near and far to this great city and state.

Just like a friendly Texan tipping their hat, Howdy Blossoms! greets every passerby with a visual, “Howdy, glad you’re here!” It invites viewers to pause, breathe in the imaginary scent of wildflowers, and feel the quiet joy of being welcomed into something colorful, kind, and unmistakably San Antonio, Texas!
