Artist Statement

My work seeks to capture the everyday magic in life—moments worth holding onto—to bring joy to the canvas and share it with others.

I hope my paintings inspire people to notice the light shifting across snow or the purple shadows beneath a wave, to pause on a hike and watch the changing sky, to slow down for a cup of tea, or to bring flowers to a neighbor.

For over three decades, I’ve painted in acrylic in a modern impressionistic style. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had along the way: earning my BFA in painting and drawing, studying art in Paris and Florence at 18, working with women in rural Thailand on batiks in my early 20s, spending time hiking and paddling in beautiful places, and collaborating with many artists over the years.

At its core, my work is rooted in daily life and the constant inspiration from my creative family.
