For You
My artwork invites you to stand in the landscape with me and perhaps remember your own experiences, wonder what is around the corner, down the trail or off in the distance. More importantly I want to provide a moment that reconnects you with the healing energy of our natural environment.
My Inspiration
I have always found that exploring the natural landscape heals, recharges, and inspires me. My art is fueled by those explorations of NH forests and natural settings while hiking, snowshoeing, and traveling. These landscapes not only rejuvenate me but also deeply influence my art, letting me relive their essence through my artmaking.
My current work incorporates trail maps as a foundation for images rendered in colored inks. This process infuses the artwork with a sense of place while the translucent vibrancy of inks convey the calming energy of the landscape.
My Journey
Though I currently have a full time career in education, art has always been part of my life and over the past decade I've been exploring and honing my vision and skills. With my husband and two dogs, I spend a good deal of time pursuing a broad range of outdoor activities: hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing (my favorite)and camping. In fact we enjoy camping in our own backyard!
My artistic journey is now my priority as it brings me balance, health and a desire to help others connect with the natural environment. Since deciding to share my art in 2018, I've been welcomed into the New Hampshire Art Association, participated in several art fairs and shows each year, and am an active member of committees that support the arts and artists. I look forward to the opportunities that will present themselves in the coming year as I build a creative business to sustain my artmaking fulltime.
