About

I’m Aubrey, a visual artist based in Eau Claire, WI, working under the name A.D., a family name passed down through generations and carried forward in my art. From my home studio, I create work shaped by my love of nature, texture, and story. My paintings are represented locally at Two Roots Gallery, shown at art fairs across the country, and collected online by those who find meaning in beauty reclaimed.

I work in two primary mediums: reclaimed wood mosaics and heavy body acrylic paintings. Each mosaic begins with discarded wood, cut by hand on a scroll saw and brought to life with layered stains. These pieces are more than intricate designs; they are acts of restoration, transforming what was once forgotten into reflections of the wild.

My paintings are built with thick, expressive brushstrokes of heavy body acrylic, fully embracing the impasto style of French impressionism where texture leads the way. The result is a stained-glass-like surface that echoes the structure and rhythm of my mosaics.

I believe art is a sacred form of storytelling. At its best, it redeems what could be lost and helps us reconnect to the transcendental values of goodness, beauty, and truth that still shine through the world around us.
