INSPIRATION FOR MY ARTWORK
My journey as a painter taught me to find beauty in everything. When you truly look, beauty reveals itself in the details.
My art invites you to pause and see what you might overlook. I hope that after experiencing my work, you’ll notice the simple wonders around you: the glow of light through leaves, the graceful shapes in nature’s dance. Beauty is always within reach, waiting to be seen."

THE STORY
The Understory Collection was inspired by the idea that living in harmony with the seasons brings our lives into balance. In Spring, just like the flora and fauna of nature, we begin to emerge from the cocoon of Winter. We are budding, coming up with new ideas and ready to try new things. The way these young ferns reach up towards the light from the dark forest floor represents the bold new growth that occurs in Spring.
Root Down to Rise Up was inspired by a nature walk on Madeline Island in Wisconsin in late Spring. I was mesmerized by the groves of fiddlehead ferns reaching towards the sunlight. In a dark forest with rays of yellow sunlight piercing through the canopy, these ferns were reaching up out of the darkness towards the light. They shone bright green and yellow, almost glowing neon in comparison to the darkness around them, transforming the scene from one filled with shadows to one filled with dazzling light.
As a yoga teacher, I have always loved the cue “root down to rise up” that we use when we lead our students to a standing posture. It means that we must focus on the connection we have with the earth beneath us and ground ourselves down into it before we can reach up towards the sky. Just as these fern are growing out of the earth up towards the light.
