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 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. Read more

THE PAST ©2023, 30 x24 paper collage on a pigment ink jet print on canvas from a gouache painting, $1800. This collaboration with master collage artist Vanessa Compton began with a large gouache. For us, the wide open vistas of the American West invite reflection and symbolize the passage of time, of eons bygone. In Vanessa’s narrative in cut paper collage, this work celebrates the transition from the past into a new beginning, with new possibilities. Her use of the black and white ‘ritual’ images of Diane Arbus enhances the contrast of the timeless and transitory in this work. “I’m particularly drawn to how she would document the celebrations of folks on the fringes of society- for instance a birthday party at an asylum. After all, everyone has the right to celebrate” The hands cradle peyote, a symbol of the magic in transformation, the hidden sacred power in this magical existence. Available at Krinshaw Studios.
