“Grounded in Nature” represents both an earthly connection as well as a free-flowing, cosmic elation, when immersed in the great outdoors. Dots are arranged to capture movement, and utilized to represent stars, particles, and atoms, all of which are in constant motion.
“Hummingbird in Flight VI” Rhythmic dots depict the staccato of vibrational sound and the whir of fleeting movements. Pools of color are pulled in from the outer edges; the surroundings appear to blend and integrate with the bird. This is part of a series of hummingbirds in flight. 40”x40” 2022

Art Installations
“Endless Flow” is a 10’ stone patio created with a mixture of aggregate with ocean and river pebble stones. For me this was an introduction to stone work, exploring all things water: a wave, swirling eddies, ripples, and raindrops.
Recently completed: “Cosmic Serenity” is a 9’x18’ triptych, commissioned for a non-profit medical research center in Wisconsin. Acrylic on Linen.
