One of a series of watercolors inspired by life on Camano Island, Washington, Saratoga II (and its mate, Saratoga I) was inspired by my beach walks along the Saratoga Passage, the body of water on the West side of Camano. Whales and orcas often come through the passage on their way North to Canada in Spring and South to Mexico in Winter. The beach is often littered with remains of mussel shells and crab shells in summer, tangled in with bright green kelp and seaweed.

I am an emerging artist working in acrylics and watercolors. Born and raised in coastal North Florida, I left that familiar home to travel the West and Northwest five years ago. An avid hiker and backpacker, I find inspiration in wild places and my current practice is centered around the exploration of the natural world and landscape through its expression in color. Soft and atmospheric, my paintings evoke the vast mystery held in places few truly explore. As I walk miles of wilderness trails, I find myself enraptured with the way the fog settles between mountains, how the light finds its way through the tallest of Redwoods. It is these moments that capture my heart and my imagination and move me to put paint to canvas. I carry them with me in photographs and memory until I am ready to allow them to spill forth in color. Through acrylic paintings on canvas and panel, I am seeking to capture the feeling not just of a place, but of a moment. From that inspirational scene, I begin my composition, building up layer upon layer of acrylic color and transparent glazes, until the surface is transformed into a representation of my experience of that locale and moment in time. The surfaces convey the sense of atmosphere and mystery I find in these wild and untamed places, mirroring the wildness in us all.
