What is your artistic style?
I am an explorational abstract artist, emphasizing texture and dimension using mixed media and acrylics on canvas.

​Why do you make art?
I make art as a spiritual 
practice.  I go to the studio because I want to know more deeply the truth of life and love, and everything that relates to it.  I want to know more clearly who I am and what my purpose is.  I want to love more purely myself and others, my creator, and this creation.  Making art nurtures and guides me along this path.  I do not see myself as an art business.  I create "original-one of a kind" paintings that help me learn and then I want to share them with others.  

What inspires you?
Music inspires me.  Listening to music with my eyes closed, I see in my mind's eye ethereal images gently, beautifully moving, yes, dancing to the rhythm of the music.  It's as if my soul is dancing.
 
I am inspired when I am in nature.  Time outside helps the limiting patterns of my thinking release and fall away.  I can take a short walk in the woods or my neighborhood and am amazed at the inspiration that pours into me as I step to the rhythm of my breath.  Once my mind has become still, everywhere I turn, I observe  lines and textures that nature has created.  Rocks, plants, and bugs inspire.   The way water intensifies colors inspires.  The way plant life moves in gently flowing water; the leaves of a tree flutter in a gentle breeze; the clouds moving along, changing shapes up in the sky...all these inspire me.  I am mesmerized by the way nature dances and I bring its movements and feelings into my paintings.  


More recently, I have become enthralled by the idea of "waking things up" that have been resting in my art and craft supply.  I love adding beads, threads, broken jewelry and anything "bling" into my art.  It's fun for me to see things take on a new way of expression.  I think the subtle and brief reflection of light off objects in my paintings is much like life's joyful moments.  They are often just for a brief moment, but if looked again from another angle or in a different light, one can catch another glimpse.

I deeply desire to use my art as a way to serve.  Every piece I create is held in light and love for good.  I hold whoever might be inspired by my art in light and love.  

Thank you for visiting my website.  I invite you to contact me at [email protected] with inquiries about my paintings and how to see them in person, which I think is the best way to experience them.  Of course, I am bias.
