Somehow, when I think about all the time that I have spent in nature, and have enjoyed observing nature, I am still surprised at the way that images simply appear while I am painting.
This painting, “Echoes of the Past,” started with a painting of trees in mind. However, the painting had other plans, and this landscape presented itself. I simply went with it. Ultimately, I realized upon completion that the appearance of this painting transports me back to my upbringing where I spent countless hours among the trees.

After studying ballet for close to 40 years, I often see trees as dancing figures which explains the title of this piece. While going on walks, I often marvel at the trees swaying in the breeze, and the dancing rhythms of the branches. This sentiment goes back decades to when I used to sit on the rocks, with a sketchbook or journal in hand, under the trees at the end of the street of my childhood home.

The composition balances fluidity with structure, evoking an exploration of identity amid unity. My goal is that the painting invites contemplation, offering both visual delight and a reflection on individuality within uniformity.

This is another example of art that came about when I decided it was time to paint over an older painting. I LOVE doing that. Visitors to my studio are always shocked because they have often liked the older painting. Most of the time I still like the older painting as well, but it is time for me to let it go. This is because my work has led me in another direction. There is a freedom in making a decision, and just going for it, painting with abandon over a previous piece.

Moment in Childhood
$400.00
When I have a painting that simply doesn't want to work, I don't fret (for long😉), instead I paint over it. This painting is an example of just that. I love the rough quality of this painting, and the way that it evokes the snow-covered afternoons of my youth.
I have a specific memory with my mother, and for some reason, that comes to mind when I look at this piece. My sister was working in an office not far from our home. It had been snowy and it was well after dark when she was to get off of work. Not wanting her to walk home alone in the snow and ice, my mother and I met her, and the three of us walked home together. It was then that my mother shared with me that she loved the sound of the snow crunching underfoot. I think of this experience whenever I hear that familiar sound. This painting was made on a cradle panel and is ready to hang in your home or office.

Hearts on Fire
$2,900.00
While making this painting, I applied paint in a free manner and discovered that hearts kept showing up in the work without my attempting to put them in the piece. Most of those hearts are completely obscured. However, the the fact that they did present themselves explains the title of this uplifting acrylic on canvas painting. The painting has been created on gallery wrapped canvas with white sides and is ready to hang.
Designer Tip: Collectors have asked how I would recommend displaying this painting. Although it is ready to hang given the nature of the gallery wrapped canvas, for a contemporary decor, some people prefer the appearance of a frame. I would recommend a "floating" type of frame in a color that matches your decor if this is your preference.

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.
