Story

I currently live in Northeast Ohio, having lived most of my life in Kansas and Missouri. After almost 20 years as a lampwork artist, sharing my art through glass beads, jewelry and marbles, I now find joy in creating intuitive acrylic abstract paintings. I am an award-winning artist painting with layers and blends of soothing colors to share my feelings of calm, peacefulness and joy in this amazing life and world. Many of my art pieces reflect my sights, emotions and feelings abstractly inspired by nature’s beauty of NE Ohio.

“It is all part of the creative process: joy and gratitude in creating a piece of art.”

Creating my art…

Intuition guides me through my paintings and mixed media as I create, usually with no goal in mind. Listening to my inner thoughts and feelings, I guide the charcoal, pencils, pens, ink and paint with a myriad of brushes and tools on a blank page or substrate. My art and I go through many layers together - asking and answering questions, adding, taking away, covering up, waiting for the surface to speak to me with a call for completion. It takes a lot of patience and letting go of parts I love only to be covered up with my fascination of a new line, color, shape or different mark I have never created before.

It could be days, weeks or months for one of my pieces to say “I am done and ready to share with others”. It is all part of the creative process: joy and gratitude in creating a piece of art.
