These paintings are inspired by things I see in my ordinary mornings – walks in nature, in my garden and in my daily life. I desire to create works of art that allow the viewer to “get lost” in the shapes, textures, colors, and spaces. In the same way that one might seek a peaceful heart in a bike ride, these works for me are an intersection between nature and spirit, craft and feeling.

I believe that observing nature is a vital way for people to understand the whole of the universe. I am a Game Warden’s daughter concerned with creatures and the outdoor worlds from microscopic to macroview.

While I explore other ideas, mostly my works are based in nature or in bringing nature “home” to observe. My work is contemplative and subjective, not purely illustrative or representational.” Art works range in size from 10 foot x 4 foot to tiny watercolors. Media is oil on canvas, watercolor and mixed media drawing. I also write poetry and memoir.
