Welcome
Warming to Acceptance, Oil on Canvas 30 x 40”
Oil painting is the primary expression of my creative response, but I have enjoyed working and thinking in multiple media, and know that each pursuit informs the rest.
After completing a BFA in Painting and exercising that passion as often as possible, I did commission portrait work and residential landscape design while shaping a family. In pursuit of a consistent income, I was fortunate to secure a full-time teaching position to enlighten my professional experience, and earned a master’s degree while continuing to develop my personal expression on canvas.
In July of 2023 I was able to enter the painting studio full time. I am honored to have received numerous awards, and to share my work in galleries and collections internationally. I hope to serve the Master Creator by attending to the things I see around me, and exercising my skill to the best of my ability. Teaching serious art minded students continues to be a pleasure.
Finding beauty through observation has calmed and restored me many times. I invite others to join me in the experience of everyday awesome, to be healed through finding and considering the unexpected splendor that surrounds us.
Solid and liquid, cool and warm. Darkness and Light. Opposing forces always requiring balance.
