I am captivated by wonder discovered in the ordinary—the shimmer of light dancing across a field, the grace of flowers leaning toward the sun, a glimpse of water reflecting the suns last rays brushing the sky. With paint and a brush on linen I collect efemeral impressions of nature's fleeting moments, gathered up in little bouquets to carry home with me.
The Paintings
Loose, light-filled oil paintings shaped by color, movement, and a glimpse of the beauty in creation that surrounds me.
Out in the Open
Plein Air
I wander out with my easel and paints. Often my children are playing or painting alongside me, and there is usually a baby on my back or in my arms while I create. Painting outdoors is as fast-paced as my little family with the constant movement, the surprises, and the changing light.
Event Painting
A painting created live turns a memory into a work of art. Allow me to capture the dance of light and shadows of your special event.
