I make art because it is a natural expression of who I am. I think we all are creative beings at our core, and creating is an act of health and aliveness. So for me, creating art is an expression of health and wholeness.
Printmaking is my current medium. I love the interaction of the ink on the plate and the paper. I enjoy the challenge of designing an image backwards. The process is wholly engaging. The world of nature is my inspiration, my muse, and my place of wonder. Many of the forms I create are organic, and come right from the natural world. I am fascinated |

Photography is a way of capturing a moment in time, that has captured my eye and imagination. Whether it is the light, the behavior of a bird I am watching, a form, a visual joke, there is something in the image that speaks to me. I love that going out with my camera slows me down so I don't just look at what is around me, but really see it. |
