Artist’s Statement:
My joyful art witnesses wonder and reflects reverence for the beauty of nature. I use simple images and rich brilliant color to create art with powerful new harmonies. My love of the beauty of this earth as well as sorrow at how it is threatened compels me to create art that invites deep contemplation. I aspire to be open to my inspiration and its process which is often a struggle on an unpredictable path but always an adventure. I work from a deep well of my imagination, walking with trees, loving leaves and the embracing joy of music.
