Garden Paintings. The love and affinity I have always felt towards nature inspires my work. As a long time jewelry designer, I have worked with stones and metals from the earth to combine in unique assemblages of color, form and texture. Also working in ceramic sculpture, I used clay and glazes from the earth to form and fire sculptural archetypal figures. Now I am focusing on paintings of the garden in its unending cacophony of beauty, color and exuberance.
I find that asking and allowing the light and creation of the garden to express itself through me then allows more of that into my life, and then forward to those who live with my work. It is a joy!
