I turn rocks and clay into color-drenched, earth pigments for handmade watercolors and oils. I call them Paleo Paints, and each collection of colors are a Soul of the Ozarks collection. The process I use to get the pigment is similar to how it was done from the first time a human slapped a painted handprint on the wall of a cave.
My watercolor paintings made from our local earth pigments are, naturally, earthy. The subjects I paint are drawn from the nature around me here at Wild Ozark. You can find my earthy paintings listed in my online shop.

All of my paints and palettes are small-batch produced and when I have extra, they’ll be available in very limited quantities. At this time I’m not offering sets of oil paints. Those require too much more pigment and time to produce. This may change if I am able to invest in machinery that can help.
Paleo Paint made from my local stones, clay, or herbs are arranged into palette collections called “Soul of the Ozarks”. When I use earth pigments from other places or other outsourced pigments, I’ll note that in the product descriptions.
I use my local earth pigments in my nature art, and to add color to my native clay sculptures.
