WELCOME!

Each day is a gift. Make it blossom and grow into a thing of beauty.

"If you go out and watch nature closely, you will find somethng so joyful that it will completely fill you. "

"The wisdom of nature speaks to the heart, and nature's first language is beauty."

"Art is harmony parallel with nature."~ Paul Cezanne

"All of nature is a canvas painted by the hand of God."

"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." ~John Muir

"If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature; and the greatest of these, at least the most constant and always at hand is nature. Nature we have always with us, an inexhaustible storehouse of that which moves the heart, appeals to the mind, and fires the imagination; health to the body, a stimulus to the intellect, and joy to the soul." ~John Burroughs

"More than anything, I must have flowers, always, always." ~Claude Monet

"My soul can find no staircase to heaven unless it be through earth's loveliness." ~Michaelangelo

"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful. Welcome it in every face, in every sky, in every flower."~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day. " Winston Churchill

About Me

I am inspired. The beauty found in nature often overwhelms me, and I am driven by an irresistible urge to capture that beauty and share it with others. As an observer and mostly self taught artist, I express my creative spirit by experimenting with various mediums. Seeking out different subjects, landscapes, still life, flowers, portraits and animals, allows me to explore different ways of painting. My artwork reflects a quiet sensibility, a love of beauty, and appreciation for the natural landscape around me. I am most inspired by, and drawn to quiet and calming scenes. Many of my paintings are of places I've experienced with all my senses, composed with intent to recreate the wonderful impressions left upon me. Some are my tribute to the beauty of nature and its defining link to the New Mexico landscape. Through my art, I hope that the beauty of the surrounding landscape reflects a sense of timeless tranquility and sheltering peace and invites one to transcend daily pressures and experience harmony and balance in a place where a slower pace invites relaxation and reflection.
