I am inspired by nature. I love to explore the outdoors and take in its glorious colors, shapes, and textures. I capture them in my photography and express them in my paintings. I have a strong affinity for trees and flowers. They find their way into just about everything I do. 

I love to paint in acrylic, oil, watercolor, and encaustic. Regardless of the media, I strive to explore luminosity, color, and especially texture, in every piece I create. I am drawn to organic shapes and the unexpected nature of fluid flowing media. I paint intuitively, setting an intention and allowing the painting to speak to me as it comes into being. I enjoy the unexpected textures that result.

My work leans toward the abstract as I explore capturing the beauty in everyday things.  In doing so, I hope that I inspire you to notice and take in the beauty around you each day.
