“Painting and drawing is a meditation and spirit-opening journey, trying to capture how I feel about what I see, and intuitively flow with curiosity of mixed media collisions that are pure magic to me! My favorite moments outside the studio are drawing en plein air, and I hold sketches that capture precious moments in high regard. Charcoal sneaks into everything, and I love all media. Past series featuring trees, animals, and nature elements are themes that I will forever pursue as beacons of hope and appreciation for Mother Earth, its preservation, and its sanctity.”
