About the Artist

My work is about discovering the beauty that surrounds us - capturing moments from our lives that are gifts to us - when we take the time to be with them. See them.

I have been painting since I was four. My first painting was an Iris from my mother's garden. It didn´t look much like an iris, but it's beauty captivated me then as it does now. What I really wanted to paint was the smell - it was ethereal.

This led me thru the years to move between wanting to paint the image of a thing and wanting to paint its energy or essence - much like the iris's fragrance. Sometimes this essence come through as more vibrant color and form, sometimes it comes through as abstraction of the thing I am painting.

In all my work, nature is my guide and muse.

Enjoy,

When we are in service to our passion, great things can happen.  May it be so for all of us
