My Art
Deep in the woods of Vermont I create art that celebrates the forest floor. Mixed media art that reflects the colors, textures, and variety of organisms we often overlook at our feet. By combining acrylic paint and pen I form elements of painting, drawing, hand-printed leaves, and collage. Using my artistic expression to convey the moment in which I discover the enchanting beauty and humbling complexity of these tiny forest landscapes.
I believe creativity is an essential bridge for us to strengthen the interconnection of our human and nonhuman communities. Through mindful observation and artistic practice I deepen my connection and admiration for this essential part of the forest ecosystem.
By sharing my art, and my love for nature, I hope to inspire more people to actively and thoughtfully protect the natural world.

My Story
As early as I can remember, nature and my creativity have always provided a respite for me. A quiet and inspiring place to rejuvenate my body and mind, away from the complexities and stress of the everyday. Art became my voice early on in school and led me to the University of Massachusetts, where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1999. Having fallen in love with the natural beauty of the region I remained: to create art, explore the landscape, and work with various art venues in Western Massachusetts. During this time, my desire to build a more direct connection to nature became a necessity.
In 2018 my partner and I decided to leave our downtown conveniences for a cozy home hidden among 54 acres of woods in Southern Vermont. In this wonderfully inspiring place we learn; how to improve the habitat for wildlife, be humble stewards of the forest, and strengthen resiliency for an uncertain future. Striving to live a more harmonious life with nature both in action and aesthetics. I aspire to create in collaboration with nature, expressing my creativity in the studio and within the landscape itself.
