Painting
Nutopia
I began painting large objects in my childhood: my brother’s fish house, a demolition derby car, a huge water bin and the inside of my Mom’s dress shop. These experiences were some of the most vivid of my early years because the impulse to express with paint was so intensely present. Currently, I have an interest in the layers of meaning we give to objects and experiences and see all paintings as part of the inner journey. Color excites and moves me as a person;breaking convention is an adventure, and unexpected combinations of mediums tickle my eyes. It is all just fun--solving one painting at a time.

My fascination with trees and the Spirit of them leads me to imagine trees in all kinds of places, times, situations. This beautiful Mother Tree looks after her nest while the golden light sets and the calm of dusk settles over her.
