Florals are inspired from the florals in my garden, bouquet from a loved one, and perhaps something seen in nature. A bouquet can be painted many, many times and in many ways. I use a multi layered approach to my art with mainly acrylics and oil pastels, soft pastels and pencil.
Currently I enjoy painting plein air, directly from life, on my home coast of Santa Cruz, Carmel, and Big Sur. My travels also inspire these paintings as well, recently New Zealand, and Hawaii.
My work is inspired by nature, emotion, healing, and the unexpected beauty found in everyday life. Each painting is an invitation to slow down, notice and reconnect with joy.
