ARTIST STATEMENT
My art practice kicked off in 2023 as a playful “Happiness Experiment” and has since evolved into a deeply intuitive, process-driven journey. I focus on the act of painting itself, allowing my initial ideas to blossom into expressions that take on a life of their own.
The inspiration behind my non-objective abstract art springs from the enchanting mysteries of nature. I find beauty in how shapes emerge from light dancing through the trees or the whimsical forms that appear when gazing at clouds.
As a self-taught artist, I delight in experimentation, wholeheartedly embracing the Eastern philosophy of “non-attachment to outcome.” This approach lets creativity flow freely, unbound by expectations… as much as humanely possible.

My Primary Medium is Cold Wax (CW) and Oil…
Cold wax is made from beeswax with a small amount of organic solvent. The wax is the consistency of Crisco (see photo). When mixed with oil paint, the possibilities for texture, layers of color, and mark-making are endless.
My husband, Tom, handcrafts the floater frames and wood cradle panels (pictured). Cradle board sides are 1.5″ to 2″ deep. Edges are either painted or stained.
