"Nature sustains us contains us
to this we belong"
-Margaret Hoover Brooks
Nature
has always been the inspiration for my paintings, a way to perhaps capture a bit of those "awe moments" one encounters
now and then when in the presence of natures beauty.
After 30 years of having the opportunity to create for
the Walt Disney Company, I have chosen to retire and paint full time. Upon leaving Disney, I was a Show Producer for Walt
Disney Imagineering and was in the roll as Park Art Director for Disney's Animal Kingdom. My time with Disney was very rewarding,
as I had many opportunities to express myself creatively and to be with and inspired by, so many creative people.
I am on a journey of discovery with my
art, now that I am blessed with the time to pursue my passion. I am enjoying so many new ways to reflect Nature's beauty in
my paintings and challenging myself in the use of various mediums. I enjoy working in acrylics, but usually the subject determines
the medium chosen. Currently my textured paintings are "impressions" from the natural elements found in our woods
and gardens, working with modeling paste. I especially enjoy the blending of color over texture.
I am looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me and hope that I will
always have an opportunity to share it with you.
