I am so pleased to have the opportunity to house these new pieces from Janell. Their beauty and vibrancy immediately hit me. These joint pieces will be the center of excitement in our home.

The process of making art is not only a collaboration between the artist and the art, it can also be a collaborative effort between the collector and the art itself. One of the wonderful gifts of these abstract paintings is that they can be arranged in 16 different combinations allowing for collaborative freedom and reset within an interior room at any time. I love this! Every artist has a preferred way of displaying art but these fun pieces come with options and they all have appeal.

I am so grateful for this collaboration and the collection of these works into a wonderful home!
Thank you, Zeke!

"Tangerine" was collected by some new admiring fans during the C.M. Russell Museum Auction.
Live auctions of any artists work will always be a nail biting experience for the artist!

It is always fun to see a new collector discover my work and in this case she is from Great Falls, MT so, this little painting didn't have far to travel. What a wonderful cultural opportunity the Out West Art Show and Sale has offered its residents all of these years!

Many thanks to Barbara Stroud for finding my art online and being inspired by my work! It is always a wonderful feeling when people admire my work enough to hang it in their home. It is equally amazing when someone chooses to take the time to write about my work for the simple pleasure of sharing their joy with others.

That Barbara is inspired by my work reminds me that so are many others and, that is a gift and an honor. Thank you for enjoying the work that my heart and soul creates! Here's to creating many more paintings that inspire and bring light and joy into the lives of others!
