In focusing on the most personal moments of my life, I seek to visually describe what is perhaps the most universal aspect of the human condition. These paintings are my descant: a variation on the age-old artistic theme of emotion, one of only a few things we can claim as a commonality.

I’m a painter in the Winston Salem area of North Carolina, USA. My work explores the relationship between God and landscape, seeking out the divinity and romance in the mountains, streams, and trees that I live within. I live and work from a home studio in Lewisville NC, with my husband, our daughter, our two rescue dogs and cat.
