I am a nature abstract painter exploring images I’ve seen, photographed or created. I communicate those images and feelings through intuitive mark making. While I have always been an artist, I came to painting in mid-life as a natural expression of all I have done before.

My childhood in east central Kansas allowed me to explore nature daily. Stargazing, hiking through the woods, sipping nectar from clover flowers, gazing up at the sky and the powerful pact the ocean has had in my life gave me blissful and joyful moments that I aim to convey through my paintings. A career as a personal stylist working with color, texture, pattern, shine and shape also play a pivotal role in my approach to my work.

It has said my work evokes joy which is the greatest compliment I can hear as it gives me so much joy to paint. I hope that my collectors feel that joy every day they live with my work.
