About Me

Hi! I’m the artist and creator behind Golden Canyon, where desert dreams meet penguin mischief. I started this shop to blend my love of storytelling, silly humor, and fine art into something you can hold, wear, or hang on your wall.

Peggotty the Penguin is my feisty, heat-defying muse—she lives in the Arizona desert (just like me), navigating life with charm, irreverence, and an occasional cactus mishap. She stars in our quirky merch line, bringing smiles and sass wherever she goes.

When I'm not wrangling penguins, I'm in the studio creating original oil paintings, which you’ll also find here as prints. It’s a little gallery, a little gift shop, and a lot of heart.

Thanks for stopping by—I hope something here makes you laugh, light up, or feel just a little more penguin-y.
