gesture of being held Painting

My art making practice is an exploration, allowing curiosity and spaciousness to inform my process. Forms found in nature, humanity, and interconnectedness inspire me. This creative impulse is a meditation, a weaving of invocations honoring our planet Earth. I explore with a variety of mediums; including acrylic paint, watercolor, pastel, wax, graphite, charcoal, ink, fabric, paper, thread, wood, and found objects. I am drawn to the mystery of things unseen and the dance between chaos and order. I work with layers, textures, and negative space to create and invite the viewer into a world of curiosity and contemplation. Born in California, I have lived in different parts of Western USA and feel deeply connected to the landscape of the West.
