I have worked to become a painter who searches for the spirit of each subject and bring it to life on the canvas; attempting to find that immortal spark and have a bit of it shine through in the attitude of whatever or whoever I’m painting. I enjoy portraying my experience of that spark through […]

I am primarily a landscape artist whose goal is to paint places that invite the viewer in. I want to paint places where others want to be. Biking, hiking, kayaking and walking through my neighborhood all provide inspiration. I believe plein air is also important as it causes me to slow down and truly experience […]

Painting with watercolor– the destination I didn’t know I was seeking. A happy accident. I have toyed around most of my life with all forms of crafting, delighting in the creative process and the thrill of seeing elements combine and morph into finished results. But once I turned to painting after being asked to join […]

Gourds have naturally beautiful shapes and colors that I embellish using watercolors, ink and found objects. Most of my pieces are painted with images from nature – trees, nests, birds, lizards, etc. The finished sculptures are sealed with wax to become permanent 3-D paintings.

I enjoy exploring the natural beauty found in wood, creating a form that brings out the wood’s natural color and unique grain. It is intriguing to to turn different species of wood, exploring the different grain patterns, colors, textures and sometimes aromas. I also enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to securely hold the […]
