In both life and my creative process, my intent is to share the wonder, blessings and joy to be found in each day. I feel we all run into obstacles along our journey and when we push through them, it makes us stronger. Sometimes we’re called to be bold in that pursuit.

We all want to feel seen, heard and appreciated in some way. Nature is an inspiration to me, therefore, I desire to become more elevated in the ways I can portray animals, birds, flowers, plants, and other aspects of nature and unify that in the energy in which I create. My hope is that I am led to create works of art that will connect and encourage in some way.

I greatly admire the relationship the Native American people had/have with nature. They understood/understand that humans, animals and plants share the earth and can work in harmony with one another.

I’m looking forward to further studies with the elements of nature and incorporating them into my creative process, such as creating inks with nuts and berries, using sun prints in my collage, studying patterns in leaves, trees, animal fur, etc. I’m so thankful to be on this artistic journey!
