The variety, shape, color, and forms and feeling of the natural world have fascinated me since childhood. At two-years old, one of my first memories was sitting in the warm spring sun and watching tulips open. Their fragrance, colors, and soft petals brought me such joy.

My goal is to have my work be a reminder of our connection to nature and the collective whole.  I know without a doubt that there is such a indescribably delicate and intertwined, symbiotic connection with all cooperative components of nature, of which we are a part. With watercolors, acrylic and mixed media, I seek to notice and feel the beauty all around me in my daily life and paint from my heart.  It is my hope you will sense the heart connection to nature and each other in my work, as I believe connecting to our hearts is more important than ever. We cannot save or even value what we do not have a heartfelt connection to.

It's an honor to have several of my crane images sold at the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, WI and other conservation and Audubon sites around the country.  

I live in the beautiful "Driftless" area of southwestern Wisconsin with my family.
