About the Artist

I am passionate about living life creatively. Through the arts I want to express my own unique experience of this amazing world. I have been teaching art, science, yoga, and history in the community for over ten years. My M.Ed was in creative arts and learning. Our cohort group danced, sang, drew, laughed and learned firsthand how the arts enrich lives. This program helped me to deepen my creativity and inspired me to share my creative journey with others. I am staying at home with my two rowdy boys who are ages four and almost two. They keep me very busy and fill my life with such joy. During naptime and bedtime I have found a love for painting and drawing. That time of quiet is a special time of almost meditative quality when I can pick up a paintbrush or a pen and express myself creatively.

My artwork reflects my fascination with abstractions in the natural world. Inspiration can come from simple things like; watching the raindrops dance across the car window as we sped down the highway, watching the fluid movement of oval reflections of light on the bottom of the pool floor on a sunny summer day, and investigating the iridescent color and design on an insect wing. My artwork stems from this attention to organic shapes, designs, and repeating patterns found in the natural world. An organic mandala theme is ever-present in my art and ripples out in new and different ways with each creation. I believe that what we do ripples out. Our actions, our thoughts, our words…. All of these things ripple out in to this world. My artwork is a visual representation of this belief. I hope that my artwork speaks to you and that it fills you with feelings of love, joy, and peace.
