Short Bio

“Always inspired by the Nature, I create a variety of pieces that are vibrant and calming, and will hopefully inspire the viewer to feel the same.”

Statement

I gather inspiration from all the intricate and delicate plants and mysterious animals and insects that I see when enjoying the forest, the mountains, and the sea. Nature simply enchants me. Putting these feelings onto canvas with a brush and a variety of vibrant colors allows me to channel the loving and peaceful vibe that is being offered, and I find so much joy in sharing that with you. Many times when I am painting, I become connected to the very essence of the subject matter and feel a mingling with their spirit. As I paint them, they teach me to look at them more deeply, keenly, and with pure adoration. I allow this feeling to carry my hand and inspire my color choices. May the mystery and beauty of Nature bring you so much love and peace.
