Meet the Artist

Creativity is innate in my being. Rather than be in rooms as a child, my passion was to be with nature. Living my childhood in four distinct seasons on the east coast, I grew to love light, color, shadows and darkness. Nature has always been my teacher. I am a self-taught artist and my art has a deep spiritual connection to nature.

My livelihood for 20 years was creating art with metal and welding as my medium. I continued with fervor until my working wrist, arm. and shoulder asked me to stop. The communication was via pain. That is when I started painting with acrylics. Immediately I fell in love yet again. I realized clearly that my creativity is a gift. It shows up in many ways. Presently I am studying oil and cold wax. A stimulating challenge.  I still work with acrylic and I am in constant discovery. After all, “since we are always inventing, creating something we haven’t seen before, we just never can feel entirely sure about what we are doing,” quotes Nicholas Wilton. I will continue to study the new medium as best I can and use my gift as a tool to express myself.
