FIND YOUR ARTAbstracted ArtI am intensely interested in the painting process and the feelings that bubble to the surface while I am working. This change in emphasis is a result itself of my fascination with distressed frescoes in Italy, peeling paint on walls of buildings, and the textures that are found in the natural environment.
Growing up surrounded by mountains informs the choices I make in my art. Even when I am intending to create an abstract painting, landscape aspects creep in. My most recent series, entitled Surface Tension, includes elements of mountains, trees, and reflected water in a decidedly abstract way.

A Different Story
$550.00
This painting started as many of my abstracted landscapes do, with random color placed on my substrate. After arriving in my studio and looking at the panel, I saw trees taking shape. "A Different Story" was born of my love for trees.

Approximate Framed size: 15"x15"
Sparkling Through
$1,200.00
Sparkling Through was painted in reaction to spending time in the trees. I love the feeling that I get when the sun comes through the leaves and branches. There is something magical about the way that the leaves seem to sparkle in the sun. This painting was made in oil and cold wax medium and is painted on a wooden cradle panel ready to hang.
Painting size: 20"x20"
Follow the Light

A Different Flower
$550.00
I rarely paint flowers and I didn't set out to paint flowering trees when I started this painting, but flowering trees wanted to be painted! This acrylic painting was so much fun to create. There are layers and layers of color on this panel and it is wonderful to see them coming through the piece. Styled image is an example of how the artwork would look framed.

Tracery
$2,580.00
One day I looked at a painting that I had previously completed. I liked the painting, but I something told me that I needed to do a completely different piece over it. That's when I got out my paint, and began adding color without thought or concern. A few days later, I came into my studio and knew exactly what I wanted to do with the piece and this is the end result.
This painting is oil on cradle panel and is ready to hang.

Jumbled Topography
$550.00
This painting went through lots and lots of changes. It wanted to be a mountain scene, and I was "somewhat" satisfied with it. One day, while working on another piece, I looked over at this one and experienced an "aha" moment and knew exactly what I wanted to do to make the painting stronger. That is one of my favorite things about making art. The solutions come to you unbidden, and it is like magic. This is the perfect piece for an area in your home or office that requires a bit of color.

Network of Dreams
$550.00
Travel is always inspiring. In 2019 I was able to visit Peru. Having never seen the Andes in person, I was unprepared for the impact they had on me. Flying in to Cuzco, I was never so happy to have a window seat on a plane. Looking down on those mountains was mesmerizing because they appeared as if a higher power had taken the land and crushed it into impossible slopes. The colors and patterns that I saw inspired me as well. I am transported whenever I think of Peru which came to mind while working on this painting in acrylic on panel.

Anything's Possible Here
$550.00
This is another abstracted landscape that started with lots of layers of acrylic paint. It's like a treasure hunt to look closely at the painting and see colors revealed just below the surface. I let my intuition guide me with these paintings. In this case, I challenged myself to use colors that I rarely use. It was fun to work with hues that I am not as comfortable with using. Making challenges like this for myself allows me to explore my art in ways that require even more intuitive thought when it comes to the colors I choose.
This painting is ready for you to frame as you wish. Framed image is an example of what could be done.
