a colorful world

Hello! I am a self taught intuitive painter. I grew up in a house filled with art because my mother was a painter and my family often visited museums and talked about our favorite artists. I was always encouraged to live a life that allowed me to express myself. I currently live in the woods of North Carolina with my husband and daughter and often travel the the beach and mountains for inspiration.

I have been a teacher for many years and watching children create convinced me that human beings are inherently creative. I believe having art in your home uplifts our daily lives in so many ways. I use painting as a form of therapy- to reduce the static in my mind-and to bring into focus what is beautiful in the world. My hope is that looking at my paintings reminds the viewer of how nature is spiritual and we are connected to it at the deepest level.
