This painting is filled with bits and pieces of inspiration from my trip to the Pacific Northwest last summer and a healthy dose of childhood nostalgia. As a child, I had asked my parents if we could go on a family vacation to the Olympic Peninsula for my 16th birthday. Although the request was denied, I was able to hold onto that idea and manifest it into existence 25 years later. I wish my 16 year old self had known that there was a reason.

Twist of Fate

A twist of fate landed us unexpectedly at Sperlak Gallery and Sculpture Garden on our way home from the beach. It was enchanting!

My art is typically very colorful, but the lighting when we visited paired well with black and white photo. I was inspired to make a quick painting when we got back to weave those lively colors back in.

Art + nature + a little mystery. If you ever find yourself in South Jersey, it’s a gem.

Springtime Goddesses

I’m sharing a few process photos for a mixed media piece – there are so many layers that go into each work of art! “The ability to look deeply is the root of creativity. To see past the ordinary and mundane and get to what might otherwise be invisible.” – Rick Rubin

Peripheral Vision

I love every part of the creative process, but there is nothing more satisfying than hearing that voice telling you a piece is done. It’s not a literal voice, but some kind of cosmic knowing…that after all of the work, bursts of energy, tinkering, questioning, and magic…it’s reached it’s full potential. It is exactly what it was meant to be.
