"Inspired by the poem The Peace Of Wild Things by Wendell Berry. 

My work is a reflection of how I live and look at the world. I am drawn to beauty and put myself in its path. I look for beauty everyday because through this recognition of beauty I feel my connection to the divine. I see beauty as a language that everyone understands and responds to. While creating, I am asking questions: Does the world embody beautiful ideas, can we be soothed by the cycle of the seasons? Being aware of this cycle can we come into rhythm in our own lives? My work is an invitation to ponder the question of the value of beauty in this present time with all the conflicts and division and yet, love and possibility. 

Dynamic movement, luscious paint application and delicate line work are recognizable elements my work. I have always found possibilities slightly more interesting than facts. The mystery of being alive never leaves me and the wonder of being on the edge of all that I don’t know leaves me dazzled and curious. All the beauty and all the suffering we live through, all the sunsets and starry skies are contained within. These pieces are portals into wonder and possibility, maybe puzzles that are slightly unsolved. Moving back and forth across the continent pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to grapple with my identity as a mother, an artist and a lover of beauty."
