I am fascinated with texture, patina, old script, typography and ephemera that speak of the passage of time. Weathered aging brick, peeling paint, lichens and moss on rocks are all intriguing and beautiful to me. These elements and marks made beautiful by human hands and by nature frequently inspire my artwork. My art hints at layers and invites the viewer deeper. I particularly love the luminous qualities and depth of layers that emerge with encaustic painting. My creative process is an extension of my contemplative nature. In creating, I work to follow the intuitive nudges I sense within my spirit. In essence, I am invited deeper and I seek to reflect that invitation through my art. My hope is that my art conveys a quality of peace and serenity and that it brings more light into your heart and life.
