Artist Statement

Nature and awareness are the two themes that I use heavily in my works. I gather inspiration from nature around me: the colors, the movement, the light. As a yoga and meditation teacher, I feel it is important for the viewer of my art to be aware of all that they are seeing when they look at a painting. To be aware of what their senses bring to mind when looking at a painting is my goal. When I paint, I try to see the trees or the flowers or the colors of nature as actual characters making up parts on the canvas. They seem to come alive to me and I see the interactions of each part on the canvas to the whole. That is usually the inspiration from where I base my titles from. For example, if the flowers in my painting seem like they are gathering around one particular flower, I picture them as friends gathering around someone who needs support and name the painting “Support System”. When we become aware of the relationship of nature to humans, art becomes a powerful way to express yourself. And, for this I am grateful.
