Conservation & Community Partnerships

Much of my work is shaped by time spent around lakes, rivers, forests, and quiet natural places across Kentucky and beyond. Water, wildlife, reflected light, and the feeling of being fully present in a landscape sit at the center of what I create.

I’ve always been drawn to the emotional connection people carry with the outdoors — the places they return to, the water they know by memory, the wildlife they notice when they slow down enough to really look. That sense of awareness and connection is part of the foundation of this work.

Because of that, I’m interested in building thoughtful partnerships with organizations, events, and community efforts that care for natural places, wildlife, freshwater ecosystems, and meaningful local connection.

Areas of Alignment

I’m especially interested in opportunities connected to:

  • freshwater conservation
  • wildlife and habitat awareness
  • Appalachian and Kentucky ecology
  • lake and river stewardship
  • outdoor culture and education
  • environmental restoration
  • conservation-minded community initiatives
  • regional arts and place-based storytelling

Partnership Opportunities

Selected collaborations may include:

  • artwork donations for silent auctions or fundraising events
  • online benefit auctions
  • conservation-centered campaigns or awareness initiatives
  • collaborative storytelling projects
  • event partnerships connected to water, wildlife, or regional identity
  • community-centered projects that align naturally with the spirit of the work

At this stage, I’m approaching partnerships intentionally and selectively so each opportunity feels genuine and aligned rather than transactional.

About the Work

Lakehouse Portrait Co. creates original artwork inspired by wildlife, freshwater landscapes, reflected light, and the emotional atmosphere of time spent near the water. The work is rooted in observation, memory, and a deep appreciation for the quiet complexity of natural places.

Rather than focusing on spectacle or trophy imagery, many pieces explore presence, stillness, layered color, and the feeling of encountering wildlife and landscape as living environments rather than backdrops.

Partnership Inquiries

If you represent an organization, fundraiser, conservation effort, or community initiative that feels aligned with this work, I’d be glad to hear more about what you’re building.
