Flame Thrower Painting

Often painting larger than myself, in the studio I step into the immensity of my own colorful universe and experience the wonder I felt as a child in the big mysterious world around me. With color and motion as my tools, I explore the profound nature of life and the creative magic of my Sonoran desert surroundings. Raised in southern California, I discovered my love of the desert in my grandparents’ Tucson backyard, watering cactus and catching horny toads. A part-time artist throughout my life, I happily returned to my love of art full-time after I retired from nursing in 2014. I currently enjoy a daily painting practice in my north Phoenix home studio, and exhibit my work regularly throughout the Valley.
