I love exploring all subject matter, but I am inspired by nature. Everyday I find myself in awe of the world around me, whether I’m driving to the grocery store noticing the way the sunlight paints the clouds or I’m hiking on the greenway watching the leaves and flowers dance in the breeze. My brush strokes are often expressive and capture the energy and movement of the outdoors.  I love painting landscapes and seascapes with sweeping skies as well as cheerful florals. I often add bits of collage to my work using pieces of dried paint palettes or torn pieces of discarded artwork. Doing this adds texture and interest to my work and serves as a reminder that we can find beauty everywhere, even in what we might have initially thought was broken.  It is my hope that my art brings the joy, whimsy, wonder, and beauty found in nature into your home.
