Statement

So many aspects of an artist’s life change over time as we research, learn new things and evolve as human beings. My interest in the natural world has flourished these past few years and my focus now plays into the subtleties of nature and the human element that joins it. Nature is healing and all encompassing. As an artist I want to evoke emotion. Yoga, meditation, bodywork, self-care, all these things are my focus and I believe that it is evident in my work. We live in such an amazingly beautiful world. The Ozarks mountains are a spiritual place and I seek to dwell and study every little detail so I can be healed by this magical place. Mother Nature waits for me...and I must go.
