Artist Statement.
My work brings beauty to the table. Painting plein-air, I create lush, luminous, layered surfaces in my garden. My senses are heightened to color, texture, light, and smell. I dive into the tangled life cycles of plants and flowers with energetic mark-making, exuberant color and line, intuitive looking, layering, and wiping. It’s a meditative, spiritual process. I want people to experience that heightened awareness and see beauty in our vulnerable environment. Mypaintings reimagine plein-air landscape, dancing between near and far, abstraction and representation. In-depth focus replaces distant vistas. Over 3–7 sittings, passing days, and weather transform my viewpoints. Manipulating paint, I strive to capture the essence of a place through the lyrical rhythms of growth, bloom, and decay. The luxury of painting in my backyard eased the chaotic transition from a mom of three, to a solitary mindset. I like my garden wild and unstructured, both flowers and the messy, jumbled parts. I start by planting for how I’ll want to paint: colors, heights, when things bloom, where my easel will be. My garden has become my subject and my sanctuary
