My paintings and mixed media pieces celebrate the beauty of the natural world. I have always felt a strong connection with plants and animals and have been fascinated by the intense beauty they possess. I strive to share this love with my audience by observing deeply and creating pieces that joyfully explore the color, form, and pattern natural objects offer. Out of respect for the environment, all my paintings are created on upcycled wood. My mixed media pieces are made with hand-marbled paper, linoleum prints, and upcycled hand-painted frames.
