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.
