Paint and poetry that ring with the frequency of the forest

Nature is a gift I share through my paintings and poetry.

At my chestnut log-cabin studio in the Appalachian Mountains, I paint with a weathered oak and stump as my easel. Old-growth trees, ferns and a snow-melt stream inform each painting. Guided by the natural forces surrounding me, I funnel energy into art.

Each painting invites you on a journey of exploration, of applying paint, then scraping it away, digging into the surface grain, expelling the unnecessary, laying bare the essential and questioning with each ventured stroke.

In addition to my Master of Fine Arts degree, my education includes degrees in general arts and sciences and a Master of Business Administration as well as study resulting in Usui Reiki Master, Shamanic Reiki Master Teacher, DECU (Dermal Expression Cellular Upgrade) practitioner and Deeksha Giver certifications.

I intend for each painting to be a blessing.
