Landscapes

My natural environment inspires me, and every day we should honor and protect the nature around us. In this series, I challenged myself to create different views and techniques for each painting.

Ode to the Birdhouse

Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by birds. They are beautiful in design and movement. In this series, I took a simple shape of a birdhouse and several patterns of birds, then added leaves to create a complex overlapping design, a signature style of my paintings.

Large Paintings

This series highlights my largest paintings. These paintings tell their own story, creating exciting conversations and brightening up the spaces they occupy.

Barn Quilts

This series was inspired by one of my lifelong passions, horses. I have spent a lot of time in old barns and have always enjoyed looking at their architecture. As an artist, I was especially drawn to the quilts painted on a variety of barns I’ve visited. Painting this series was a creative challenge, exploring color, design and patterns within a defined shape.

Bridging

Bridging, my newest series, is a metaphor for navigating the new world of the pandemic. These paintings explore different land masses that connect us together by bridges, representing the physical reconnection we face after the pandemic. We must lend support by building bridges, learning and helping each other.
