Acrylic on Canvas

Created for a collector who travels the world and photographs the sun and moon through her wine glass wherever she goes. These two pieces capture her true happy place — her lake home in Minnesota. She holds up her wine glass; he holds up his bourbon. Two people, one lake, one golden moment at the end of the day.

Seasons & Spirits on the Prairie

Happy Harry's Bottle Shops

Mixed Media: Acrylic and Collage on Canvas · 6 pieces

This curated collection celebrates the rhythm of prairie life through cocktails, seasons, and the proud legacy of Happy Harry's — North Dakota's iconic bottle shop. The 6-part mixed media series is infused with regional symbolism and material homage, blending nostalgia, nature, and narrative. Each canvas incorporates a touch of metal collage as a nod to the silo (converted to conference room) where the works are displayed. Painted wood textures on each piece reference the iconic red barns of Happy Harry's, grounding the series in place and memory. This installation is more than visual — it's a toast to time, terrain, and transformation. Cheers to "Happy Times" on the prairie.

"HOPPY Harry's"

Where We Started

A stylized Central Package Store — Happy Harry's original location — stands surrounded by beer, wheat, and bold color. This piece honors the roots of a beloved local business that grew from humble beginnings into a regional staple.

"A Penny For Your Happy Thoughts"

Where We Are Now

It's impossible to think of Happy Harry's today without visualizing the iconic red barn, silo, and the Penny Sale. Open barn doors reveal signature low profile bottle display and open rafters. Wheat stalks and blue skies frame the scene, symbolizing prosperity, community, and the enduring spirit of North Dakota.

Tequila Sunflower Rise

Summer on the Prairie

A radiant bottle of Patrón anchors this sun-drenched scene, surrounded by blooming sunflowers and a citrus-kissed cocktail. The warm prairie horizon evokes celebration, growth, and golden abundance.

The Aviator

Spring on the Prairie

Aviation Gin and a cherry-garnished cocktail float above fresh green fields. This piece captures the lift of spring — renewal, flight, and the playful elegance of seasonal awakening; with a wink to the world renowned Aviation program at the University of North Dakota.

The Geese Are Flying

Autumn on the Prairie

Grey Goose Vodka and a martini glass with olives sit among tall grasses as geese soar overhead. Shotgun shells and camouflage add tension and whimsy, reflecting the crisp familiarity of ND Fall — migration, hunting, and harvest.

Old Fashioned Lights

Winter on the Prairie

Because no North Dakota collection would be complete without a Bison. Buffalo Trace bourbon glows beside an Old Fashioned cocktail, set against swirling Northern Lights. Painted wood and metal collage grounds the magic of winter in rustic warmth.

See No Evil · Hear No Evil · Speak No Evil

Acrylic on Canvas Board

3 pieces

A playful spin on the classic "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — reimagined with three Labs who have their own take on the rule. Bold, graphic, and full of personality, this trio brings a smile to every room they walk into.

Sit & Stay

Acrylic on Canvas Board

2 pieces

Inspired by a deeply personal story — as an exchange student in Japan, Emily realized she couldn't communicate with the family dog because the commands were in Japanese. When her goddaughter prepared to move to Japan with her two black Labs, Emily created these pieces so everyone could be on the same page. The Labs now know "sit" and "stay" in Japanese. Bold, graphic, and full of heart.

Babies and Blooms

Mixed Media: Acrylic and Collage on Canvas

4 pieces

Created for a collector whose four cats are her children. Each portrait is hand-painted in acrylic, then adorned with collage flowers — every bloom chosen deliberately. Each flower represents a key woman in the collector's life who has shaped and influenced her, woven in alongside her favorite babies. A deeply personal tribute to the people and animals she loves most.
