I grew up surrounded by nature, immersed and enthralled by the beauty of it all. My mother gave me her love of God and birds, and her watercolors. I began to paint as a celebration, to say thank you for this joy, this Heaven on earth.
Painting inspires and restores my spirit. I want to share this transformation- this renewed sense of connection. I aim to suggest both the reality and the hidden energy of things, to see nature in new ways, as if for the first time.
A Sampling..
Rising Star ©2024, 4 ft. x 6 ft. acrylic on a wood panel. A commissioned work based on the Wind Dancer theme.
Mahadevi ©2024, 14 x 21 watercolor on paper. This work is inspired from my travels near the Bighorn Mountains during an art residency in Dayton, Wyoming. The hills in the area are beautifully shaped and I began to conceive this work as an expression of love for this Mother Earth, as the female essence of all things.
