From my teen years forward, Creativity through art has been my "go to" tool for finding calmness and balance. This holds true in these times as well. I have explored many mediums of expression. Stained Glass, Jewelry, Beadwork, Photography, Pottery, Straw bale construction, Knife making, digital art and now painting. One continuing thread with every medium has been my interest in Mandala's and Sacred Geometry. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the transition and progress from one medium to the next.
I presently am utilizing a "dotting" method in my paintings. One dot at a time. I go over each painting at least twice, sometimes more, to give the painting more depth. I accent my paintings with natural stone cabochons such as Turquoise, Gold Stone, Black Onyx and Crystal Rhinestones as well. Metallic paints also add an additional sparkle to the pieces. This has been one of the most Zen and "slowing down" processes I have explored to date. I began painting about 3 years ago after treating myself to a set of paints, tools and canvasses for my birthday. The process and outcomes still excite me.
I moved to Winona in late October of 2020 from the beaches of Santa Barbara, California. Knew it was time for a change and after a year on the road tying up more loose ends, that change brought me to Winona which is just a couple of hundred miles from my birthplace in Iowa.
I truly hope you enjoy the love, creativity and energy that goes into each painting as much as I do. Namaste'
