Welcome to my Creative World
I am obsessed with the creative process and love getting my hands dirty, working with different materials and basically trying it all. I love the smell of paint, the feeling of a brush in my hands and getting completely immersed in my art. I am highly sentimental and I hope it comes through in my work. I love fresh color, bold shapes and painterly brushwork. My biggest inspiration comes from the natural world, human emotion and from curiosity; if I wonder…”what if…?”; I follow that question which leads me on a creative quest. This question has lead me to so many beautiful people, places and ideas that I explore through through my work.
We have moved!
in 2022 my husband and I moved out of Los Angeles to the beach town of Carlsbad, CA. We live high in the hills, among the tree tops and near the lagoon. I am surrounded by an endless source of inspiration and spend a lot of time looking at the light, listening to the birds and simply observing this environment. To me, painting is a matter of both seeing and feeling so I needed time to simply take it all in and pay attention to the little changes that occur daily. Now, after several years making studies, small paintings and working in my sketchbook, I have returned to making large oil paintings. I will be sharing them soon so please check back regularly or reach out to me directly if you may be interested in them.
New little florals!
During this transition, I have found that working small allows me to feel free and accomplished while keeping my creative juices flowing. I have been referring to these little gouache/collage paintings as “SEEDS” since they have been giving me so much joy and ideas for larger work. I do plan to release these new works at some point but for now, it feels good to see them all around the house. I have added bits of patterned papers into the paintings which adds a playfulness that I am loving. If you would like advance notice on when they will become available please join my mailing list!
