About the Artist

I once asked a well-known painter what words of wisdom she could give me about being an artist, and she said, ''work, work, work. Do not worry about selling something, just commit to making your art.'' I paint mostly with oil on canvas, acrylic on canvas or paper, or sumi-e ink on paper or cloth. The size of the work varies from miniature to 6 feet by 7 feet.
Since childhood I have had a strong connection with nature. Growing up on a farm I was close to the land; close to animals, both domestic and wild. I am instructed by the wonderful inevitability of change that is life. These influences, combined with a steady meditation practice, are the ground of my being and inform my work. Therefore, my way is to creatively engage and express the beautiful, and often difficult, wonderments of this life.
