Perfect Pairs: A Quiet Escape

Weathered texture I loved in Amalfi alongside my lightly textured paintings Sightseeing No. 2 and Window Seat

Sometimes two things belong together — not just side by side, but in spirit. Perfect Pairs is my way of sharing small, curated combinations that echo a mood or a memory. Some pairs live only in paint; others weave in my travel photography, favorite books or films, or a brief glimpse of a moment that lingers in my mind. Each pairing is an invitation to see how art can hold space for the stories we carry.

A quiet escape, perfectly paired.

Sightseeing No. 2 and Window Seat are two small, lightly textured paintings that hold space for reflection, curiosity, and a sense of openness.

Together, they offer an invitation: to pause, to drift, to weave the spirit of travel into the corners of everyday life.

Small paintings have a beautiful way of creating intimate moments — on a shelf, above a desk, tucked into a favorite nook. These two belong together. A thoughtful pairing to remind you of journeys taken and those still to come.

Both pieces are part of my Destination Ongoing collection — available online or by private studio visit here in Seattle.
