I am an abstract painter and collage artist working in the Hill Country north of Lake Travis. My mission is to create vibrant, nature-inspired art that fosters joy, connection and grounding in viewers. I am in love with color and create lively art, often including my own monoprints. My recent work builds on a theme of garden gates. Gates lead you in, block the view, keep others out, provide security, screen the view, direct movement as formal or informal structures. Gates offer the opportunity to take action, experience your senses, connect with memories and find your nature’s heartprint.
