We are part of nature and the collective whole.  By weaving intention and emotion in artful imagery of nature, my art is a reminder that we are all interconnected in the vast web of life.  I paint from the heart.   Acrylic, watercolor and mixed media express what I feel but cannot put in words. What we do not have an emotional heartfelt connection to, we cannot value and save. 

 

My mission is to have my art be a visual reminder of our connections to the natural world and the collective whole.
