About the Artist

These works are drawn from experiences I have had in nature, in dreams, or are sometimes the reflection of meditations or visions.  They are meant to be experiences of the splendor of light and color from the inner and outer worlds.  They reflect the enthusiasm and joy I feel when I create, and my desire to share this with others.

I have been seriously involved in painting for my entire life with the last several years, often spent in multimedia works.  I have drawn my inspiration from long hours in nature, and from my garden.  I have a particular interest in art as a means of healing and balance for our lives.

My work shifts between painting and drawing, I love the rich colors and textures of painting and the meditative quality of long hours spent in drawing.  I often use shimmering iridescent and metallic color to express radiant light in my work.

I hold a B.F.A. in painting from University of Michigan and a M.A. from CSU Sacramento. 

It is important to give yourself time to experience these works, not rushing and trying to capture and label them.  They were often painted slowly, enjoyed, and savored as they evolved.  It is my hope that these pieces will bring a greater balance and peace into others lives.
