I am connected to the natural world and incorporate hawks, night skies, oceans and anything that catches my eye. I also paint barns which are my created places. Each painting is a unique setting painted with many layers of rich colors. My work is intuitive and I stay open to the process of each painting. Spirituality plays an important role and is the foundation of who I am as an artist.

Each painting is partly inspired by my surroundings, but mostly they are a newly created world where magical things can happen. I start out with a general idea but am open to going with the flow of each creation. My dreams & imagination aid me in creating these surreal like lyrical worlds, one filled with color, joy and an underlying concern for the health of our beautiful earth.

I am influenced by visual artists like Louis Sloan, Emil Nolde, Will Barnet and Paul Gauguin.
