This piece had its start in the streets of Santa Fe. I saw a bright red shirt on display outside a shop, laid over a turquoise scarf and adorned with marigold beads. The collection of colors took my breath away. I loved the intensity of the colors against the softness of the storefront’s neutral adobe and tiles. When I showed the painting to a musical friend, she said it made her think of discordant harmony—that sound in music when things don’t quite fit together but sound exactly right. As she described it to me, I heard Mike Garson’s piano solo in David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane. At Bowie’s urging, Garson played the jazz-influenced improvised piano solo in one take against the background of Bowie’s song. The contrast of the two at times clashes and feels unresolved and uncomfortable and then there are moments when everything is smooth and harmonious—and then there’s chaos, and then there’s harmony. Chaos. Harmony. Chaos. Harmony. Back and forth—in a way that reminds me of the up and down drama of a really good novel. “You’ll make it,” is from Bowie’s song and I love that hopeful message in the midst of the ebb and flow from chaos to harmony. You’ll make it.

Would you love some Joy? Well, you've come to the right place. My paintings have been anecdotally proven to bring Joy. Whether you choose paintings abundant with bright, vibrant colors or imbued with a calming, soft gathering of neutrals, your adding my art to your life will bring you Joy. Joy is essential to feeling balanced and restoring, especially in difficult times. I've spent the past four years learning more about the positive impact of joy and playing with how to bring that to my art. Joy brings hope and optimism, for me and for my collectors. I delve deeply into why Joy matters; how it is different from happiness; why we not only need it, but we all **deserve** it. My paintings bring positive energy wherever they are displayed. My paintings have exhibited in solo and group shows in Seattle, Virginia, Maryland, Nashville, North Carolina, and Washington DC, including at the Phillips Collection. My works are held in private collections in Seattle, New York, London, Washington DC, Virginia, California, and around the world. Born in London, England, my parents and I emigrated to the States when I was two. I hold an MFA in Visual Arts at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, an MA from The George Washington University, and a BA from Davidson College. I am married to a retired U.S. Marine, Tom, and we live in Seattle with our beloved Golden Chow, Mory, aka Studio Dog.
