ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This captivating artwork, titled "Fountain," beautifully blends various elements to evoke a profound sense of depth and emotion. At the heart of the piece is a photo transfer of an indigenous woman, her presence subtly emerging through the layers, imbuing the painting with a sense of mystery and reverence. Textures of dry and wet acrylic painting provide a rich, tactile experience, inviting viewers to explore the surface and uncover the intricate details hidden within. Simple yet striking gold color patterns, interspersed with vibrant blue accents, add a touch of elegance and vibrancy, drawing the eye and creating a dynamic interplay of hues. Flowing brushstrokes cascade across the canvas, reminiscent of water's life-giving and vital properties. These fluid movements symbolize the essence of a soul's energy, capturing its perpetual flow and transformative power. The mystery of layering adds depth, as each stratum reveals new dimensions and insights, much like the unfolding of a person's inner world. "Fountain" is more than just a visual experience; it encapsulates the aura and spirit of the subject, reflecting the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. The element of water serves as a central theme, embodying purity, renewal, and the ceaseless rhythm of life. Through its thoughtful composition and expressive techniques, this painting invites viewers to contemplate the enduring essence of the soul and the elemental forces that shape our existence. This work is part of a four-piece series of portraits that feature different native women and elements of the natural world. Each painting in the series explores the unique connection between the subject and a specific aspect of nature, highlighting the diversity and richness of indigenous cultures and their deep-rooted ties to the environment.

Growing up near Portland, Oregon, I was immersed in art and nature. My parents encouraged creativity, allowing us to dip candles, build outdoor houses from tree branches, and even make shoes from magnolia leaves and packing tape. My mother, an excellent seamstress, and my father, a skilled woodworker, involved their nine children in their hobbies. This nurturing environment instilled in me the confidence to explore creative projects from a young age. My passion for fine art blossomed in high school when I received a set of oil paints. I began creating impasto pieces inspired by nature and ocean scenes. Eager to deepen my artistic knowledge, I pursued a diverse range of mediums after high school, eventually studying at BYU-Idaho College of Art. There, I explored oil painting, watercolor, line drawing, ceramics, and bookmaking, ultimately earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. This field has added a valuable dimension to my life as a fine artist. Today, I work in mixed media, creating abstract expressionist pieces with found items, embroidery, painting, and clay. My artistic process is intuitive and ever-evolving, influenced by nature and unconventional art supplies. Each set of works reflects my growth as both a human and an artist, as my materials and style continuously change. I create art because my soul loves it. I live with my husband, Lorenz, in the beautiful Sonoran Desert of Southeast Arizona. Together, we are raising four children and enjoy the company of our black Labrador, Cash.
