Intuition + Paint = magic! There’s nothing more amazing and magical to me than nature. Light…air…colors…textures…sounds. All I really need for inspiration. I listen. I watch. I absorb. Then I report back what I experience… I don’t necessarily paint what I see…I paint how I feel about what I see. I allow my intuition to guide me. And I’m always amazed at what happens. Canvas, paper, wood. I love it all. Acrylic and ink. Oil. The occasional watercolor…dirt, sand, mashed up leaves or berries…whatever can leave a mark, I’ll work with it. Spending time in a foreign land with a different quality of light, different terrain, and a slower pace is what I crave. I want to be there. I want to share my stories and even lend myself to the community if there’s a chance. I love putting a paint brush in the hands of someone who thinks they can’t do it. I teach them that they can. And they do! And there is joy that comes from all of that. It’s an amazing opportunity to see into the spirits of another human! I think I've been a storyteller my whole life… I'm spirit driven. Always inspired. And always wanting to create. I approach painting like a conversation. It's between me, the paint and. the surface. I build layers creating several under paintings...often transparent ones that allow all the layers to show through. I love both texture and the gentleness of blending. There's a kindness and beauty that I always try to convey. It's what I want around me...so that's what I paint.
