Artist Work

Title: Refuge
Category: Visual Arts
Genre: Mixed Media
Description: 24”x36” on Birch Panel. My visceral response to Great Salt Plains. This Oklahoma refuge is a resting place and sanctuary on the Central Flyway, a traffic corridor for migrating birds. It also provides refuge for humans who wish to step away from the urban landscape to rest and breath.

Title: Summer Radiance
Category: Visual Arts
Genre: Mixed Media
Description:12"x12" Mixed Media on Paper. An explosion of color inspired by Oklahoma wildflowers. This style of painting scales up readily and can be commissioned in larger sizes.

Title: Sapphire Moonlight
Category: Visual Arts
Genre: Painting
Description: 24"x36" on Birch panel. In 2022 I was selected as one of 9 artists in all media selected to spend 10 days on a remote island in northern Ontario. Alone, on my birthday eve, I awaited the full moon rise. I deeply hope the viewer shares that moonlit magic.
