My art is driven by multiple passions.
With degrees in Fine Art and also in Horticulture, I create Art whether on a 2 dimensional canvas in a three dimensional garden.
As a classically trained Artist, the study of Art History informs my work. The compositional framework on which I design is from this lifelong study of the great old masters.
Brilliantly vibrant colors, textures and lighting in nature inspire my
Paintings. Capturing their exuberance is my goal.
I find my centering in nature. As an Artist I hope to slow someone down in their busy day for a few moments of peaceful contemplation before they again resume their lives.
