Stunning Mountain Art: The Inspiration Behind My 2025 Ski Collection
I would love to say this ski collection came together quietly in stillness…but the truth is that I had to consciously make time between the tiny moments I had while my baby was sleeping to work on the many, many layers of this style. That alone makes me really proud of what I accomplished and I hope you’ll feel how much love I put into this series!
I’ve always been drawn to mountains in winter. The contrast of movement and stillness, texture and openness, bold lines softened by snow. This collection came together as a way to capture that feeling. I had the look of what I wanted in my head, and it was a big challenge making it come to life.
For me, this collection surprisingly became about restraint. Instead of illustrating everything, I let texture and color do the talking, without over explaining the scene.
what inspired this collection
The inspiration simply came from time spent in mountain towns and ski destinations around the world. Particularly, scenes you might see while riding the chairlift and watching people zoom past underneath you. Or that feeling when your legs are tired at the end of the day, but you see a fun apres happening at the base. Of course you have to join! I wanted those memories captured in modern, textured forms.
Instead of literal ski landscapes, I leaned into abstraction:
Suggestive slope lines
Carved, snow-like textures
Subtle movement that feels suspended
You’ll notice skiers appear small (almost secondary). They’re there to give scale and story, but the snowy “mountain” itself is the main character. I wanted each piece to feel open ended… think of it like a memory rather than a snapshot!
materials, texture, and process
These works are highly tactile and layered.
If you’re someone who is into details, I used:
Epoxy to create depth and light reflection
Layers of acrylic texture to mimic snow and terrain
Soft gradients (so much work, wow!) inspired by winter skies and alpine shadows
The resin finish gives the surface a gorgeous sheen (similar to how snow catches light depending on where you stand.) From afar, the pieces feel minimal and clean. Up close, you start to notice the ridges, movement, and subtle imperfections (though I did try to get them as perfect as humanly possible, bc that’s just how I roll when creating.)
All in all, the balance was very intentional.
This Art Works for Modern Mountain Homes and Boutique Hotels
This collection was created with modern ski homes, luxury lodges, and boutique hotels in mind.
It pairs beautifully with:
Natural wood, stone, and concrete
Neutral interiors with texture
Clean lined furniture and layered materials
Because the work is abstract, it doesn’t feel themed or seasonal. Instead, it complements the architecture and environment, bringing the feeling of the mountains inside without overpowering a space.
For hotels, these pieces work especially well in:
Lobby statement walls
Guest rooms and suites
Hallways and shared spaces
They’re calm, timeless, and designed to let a space breathe. It’s very important to me that when someone walks in a space, the art makes them happy and interested.
designed to feel like the mountains
This ski collection is an invitation to bring the expansive feeling of the mountains into everyday spaces. It’s meant to live with you, to shift with the light, and to feel like a time you don’t want to forget.
Whether it hangs in a modern mountain home, a ski lodge, or a boutique hotel, my hope is that each piece carries a sense of movement and place, and a small reminder of those moments on the mountain when everything feels clear.
