Art as a companion for quiet moments
I create art as an act of medicine — to be absorbed in the present moment, to heal, find peace, joy, and connection.
I paint the strength and realness of women, bringing them into connection with the land, water, animals, and ancestors — sharing moments of transformation, comfort, and wisdom. Each piece is layered in collage, texture, and story, and brought alive with oil paint.
We all belong to this earth. We all have a long line of ancestors that stand with us. We each can stand in connection.
I hope you find some comfort, companionship, serenity, kindness, and belonging in being with my artwork.
She Teaches Me
I paint women and animals whose souls speak from the canvas.
They teach me how to rest,
how to find my truth—
in stillness and in flow.
They teach me how to feel strong,
from their knowing
and their companionship.
They show me how to slow down
how to live in presence.
They show me how to take action—
each in relationship to the unfolding
of their hurts, discoveries, and transformations.
She is the raindrop on my cheek.
She is the warm light peeking over the horizon.
She is the butterfly wing.
She shares through her colors—
soft grey-blue layered with burgundy-orange.
She shares through her textures—
scrapes, scratches, and soft breaths.
She speaks through contrasts of light and shadow.
She is timeless.
She is deep love and connection.
She is kindness.
a trusted companion.
She reminds me to step into the light,
to breathe in and breathe out.
