My art, strongly influenced by nature, explores relationships and how those bonds or their dissonance form beauty in the world. I look to the human form, shells, plants, flowers, rocks for inspiration. Charcoal, water based mediums and encaustic, with its glorious texture, heady beeswax scent and ethereal surface, express my love of nature.

My art, strongly influenced by nature, explores relationships and how those bonds or their dissonance form beauty in the world. I look to the human form, shells, plants, flowers, rocks for inspiration. Charcoal, water based mediums and encaustic, with its glorious texture, heady beeswax scent and ethereal surface, express my love of nature.

Informed by a childhood in the Pacific Northwest, I strive for sustainable practices in my studio and earth friendly materials in my mediums. I have always embraced a green heart; the eco-movement is a global expression of my personal blueprint. My art stands as an example of what it means to be a sustainable artist seeking kinship between art, nature and the human experience. It offers hope so we may remember the interconnectedness of life.

I've also worked with crafts, beads and fibers for more than 20 years and love texture, form and color... especially when I can experiment with materials, techniques and unusual applications. I have taught painting, drawing, jewelry and knitting classes to children and adults and love sharing my experiments, successes and surprises.

I'm also committed to exploring green and earth friendly arts + crafts. There are so many materials out there begging to be repurposed. There are so many craft supplies that could be reinvented. The ideas I'm sharing here will definitely delve into how to green your projects, reducing impact on our environment and pocketbooks.
