Whether I am working abstractly or realistically I try to capture the grace of nature in my paintings. My artwork is inspired by the continually changing aspects of our natural world. Colors, light, and seasons change daily to inspire my creations. I like to freeze particular moments in time. Through my work I can clearly look back and remember the feelings of wonder and joy at seeing flowers in a garden, a gorgeous colorful sunrise, wet pebbles in a local lake, or a field of wheat blissfully swaying in the breeze.
A Signature Member of the Minnesota Watercolor Society since 2022, I am honored to have been awarded the BEST IN SHOW Award for my watercolor, “Gentle Winds are Blowing” in the society’s 2021 juried Spring Exhibition. In 2022 I won BEST PASTEL for “Snail Lake Woods” in the White Bear Center for the Arts’ Into Nature Plein Air Competition. I was recently awarded FIRST HONORS for “Echo of Spring” in MN Watercolor Society’s 2022 Fall Exhibition. I show my work regionally and work from my studio in Edina, MN.
