Welcome to my website, a collection of recent drawings, watercolor paintings and assemblages that have flowed through me, as I try to “make something beautiful.”  I do art because  I love to respond to nature and life around me and because I can.  In some instances, a visual impulse travels in seconds  through my heart and to my hands and onto paper, bypassing my analytical brain.  At other times, an idea may “percolate” for months or more before it takes form.  To be complete, however, that art needs to be seen and embraced by another.  That is why I share here and in blogs and on social media…..so the art will be complete.  My hope is that these images will touch your heart too.

“But once you’ve shared your art and it’s resonated with a single person, it’s no longer about you — once you share it, it’s about everybody.And if your art is found by a single soul, shared with a friend who links it to a friend, and the response is whatever it is, you start to see how art becomes about everybody— just through the act of being shared.” – Amanda Palmer
