About Me

Who am I?

 My current work focuses on illuminated  sculptures, and paintings in oil and acrylic.

My subject matter is about reconnecting with nature and building an awareness of the beauty that surrounds us. Through my art, I try to capture the subjects essence and energy. The humor of sandpipers running from ocean waves, the startling realization of seeing an elk in an open field, or the humbled greatness of standing next to a giant beast pulled from imagination all awaken our senses. I want to inspire people to pause, breathe deep, and enjoy life.

I love to work with my hand, paint, and build.  I also love to explore and experience new.  I thrive on learning, expressing what I have learned, and solving. By pushing  the boundaries of what can be done with the medium, I have learned so much.

I use tissue paper, wire, reed, watercolor,  and lighting to create illuminated sculptures. I use encaustics to paint, make monotype prints, and small sculptures. I also paint,  mainly with acrylic, but also oil, watercolor, and pastel. I believe that it not only keeps my mind and work fresh, but also gives me a better understanding of what I am seeing and how I can share that with you.

I  believe that there is art in everything. The many expressions of art are essential for all of us to thrive and grow. It is about learning to see. Art is about experiences and emotions, rich and full.

This is my journey and I want to share it with you! I am glad you’ve joined me!
