"We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home,"-Australian Aboriginal Proverb
I have loved creating and painting for as long as I can remember. My inspiration comes from the natural world and the deep connection I feel with all living things. While orcas hold a special place in my heart, every animal and creature has its own story, beauty, and spirit.
My dog, Ruckus, is often by my side as I paint, reminding me to slow down and appreciate the world around me. Each new piece begins with curiosity. As I work, I spend time learning about my subject, allowing its character, behavior, and place in nature to shape the painting as it evolves. Through my art, I hope to share the wonder, beauty, and connection I experience.
