My love for nature and the outdoors continues to inspire and be the foundation of my artwork. I relish the challenge of trying to capture the visual and emotional essence of any given moment in our natural environment with the constant shift of colors, patterns and textures. My intent is to create enough form and detail to intrigue but leave some ambiguity for the viewer to become a part of the experience– bringing their own context to each painting. I am grateful to be recognized for my work in juried exhibits throughout Southern California and represented in local galleries. I also enjoy my growing connections with the Los Angeles art community through my memberships in local Art Society and Guilds.

Now, not only do I continue to play and create in my “happy place” of painting, I have recently taken the step of merging my talents as an artist and former graphic designer to create stationery utilizing my original art. What started as just a few card sets here and there for friends and family has grown into enough stationery items to warrant a whole new section to my website.

As I continue to explore and paint, my stationery and print section will only get larger. I very much appreciate your interest in my art and this new journey for me!
