I paint what reminds me of peace and hope. I use my own photos as reference while also dabbling in plein air.  Instead of painting what I see, I paint how it feels like to be there: perhaps the tree trunks redder, the colors warmer, and the light — well, the light coming through consistently and gently... like hope shining through consistently in my life. It's never intrusive, always there, and generously and gently reminding me that better days, or perhaps even just better moments, are to come. 

Currently I'm captured by the message of goodness in the redwoods, the sea, the trees, Hawaii and much of the nature. Please browse, and feel free to contact me to share your thoughts or if you have questions.
