Abstract Collection 01
✦ 01

Abstract

My abstract art is an exploration of landscapes that we carry within us. Through expressive layers, luminous color, and intuitive mark making, my work reflects moments of loss, healing, wonder and renewal. Each painting creates one - a space to pause, breathe, and discover your own meaning.

Angels

Painting angels requires an inner quiet, a connection and then once I feel this, the work will develop spontaneously. I almost lose myself as I paint. It is deeply meditative. Each work of art becomes both deeply personal and I think universally human.

Florals Collection 03

Florals

Florals are inspired from the florals in my garden, bouquet from a loved one, and perhaps something seen in nature. A bouquet can be painted many, many times and in many ways. I use a multi layered approach to my art with mainly acrylics and oil pastels, soft pastels and pencil.

Intuitive Art

Intuitive painting is one of my favorite ways to paint. There is a beginning with perhaps an intention...for example, “Peace” and then I simply begin the painting with mark making, various brushstrokes, stamps, finger paint etc. until the painting shows me something to develop.

Whimsy

Fun and play is apparent in my art. Joy and happiness and a sense of wonder is a part of my soul.. The horse may be blue with a mountain on its belly. A pink whale in a sea of flowers. An elephant rollerskating with 5 legs on a purple road. Nothing makes sense and everything makes sense.

Landscapes

Currently I enjoy painting plein air, directly from life, on my home coast of Santa Cruz, Carmel, and Big Sur. My travels also inspire these paintings as well, recently New Zealand, and Hawaii.
