It is the landscape imagery and its deep space that I explore in my work by building up 30-40 layers of oil paints, cold wax and dry pigments. I apply very thin layers of oil paint/cold wax/dry pigments to the wood board adding texture, scraping the paint, dissolving areas and then rebuilding them as I construct the painting. The removing process is as important as the layering. This ‘surface tension’ eventually is transformed into a peaceful, subtle mix of texture and natural colors. I strive to accomplish a feeling of serenity not only as I paint but for the viewer as well.

Artist Statement

Although my art is based on landscape as a subject, I am primarily interested in color, texture and abstracted forms. I use the landscape that surrounds me to inspire depth and spatial relationships. It is not a specific time or place but an overall serene feeling of nature that I am trying to create.

Best advice you’ve been given • Shoot for the top, strive for the best.

Goals/Aspirations • Continue to paint daily and add a few more amazing galleries to my representation list.

Favorite artist • Vincent VanGogh because of his desire to paint and his luscious colors.

What are you reading • Joan Mitchell: Lady Painter

Hope to learn how to • Overcome my fear of driving in a big city. I am a country girl at heart!

You spend a lot of time thinking about • My art and nature and how they intertwine. The sky, land, water and their relationship to life. (and my family)

Favorite musical artist • Norah Jones but I also LOVE so many undiscovered, independent musicians that are following their dreams. They are the best.

What do you do when not creating art • Riding horses, hiking and biking. I live in a beautiful area of the country but also love to travel.
