My images, whether painting or photography, connect to the world of nature with its tranquil and endless artistic possibilities. Conveying nature's power, serenity, and comfort has been a lifelong connection. Originally from the midwest, living on both coasts, and traveling internationally has provided visual experiences in open landscapes, horizons, seascapes and mountains. Their medley of color, texture and pattern gives variety to my work and my life experiences provide an emotional essence to it.
