I am constantly inspired by the beauty of the world around me. It may be the way the light illuminates a few vibrant flowers, the way an architect designed a uniquely curved building, or the way the waves flow gently back and forth over a shoreline. These seemingly simple experiences contain such gorgeous combinations of colors and sweeping organic lines, elements I bring in to my art pieces that create depth and a sense of motion.
My sketches and ideas always evolve as I start to paint; any plan quickly becomes as fluid as the paint itself. I arrange the colors and lines much like a florist would arrange a bouquet, allowing them to come together in a way that feels most naturally appealing. I believe that painting based on feeling creates the best abstract pieces that connect with our deepest, soulful appreciation for beauty - the kind of emotion that arises when looking over a vast landscape or watching a bird dive gracefully through the air. The kind of emotion that arises from a deep, natural center of intrigue and peace.
I moved to San Francisco, CA, in the summer of 2017 from Madison, WI, and have been creating a new inventory of paintings in California. I am so grateful for the inspiration and energy of this creative city and the way it continuously challenges me to learn and grow, and I am forever thankful for the support and encouragement that so many family and friends have given me as I share my love of painting with others. In my new San Francisco paintings, I have been incorporating flowing lines, texture, and metallics into my paintings in new ways, including experimenting with water and liquid acrylics to create a watercolor-like effect. My Madison collection of paintings will be in exhibits occasionally in Wisconsin a few times a year.
I would love for you to have a piece of art that you will enjoy for years to come. Browse the San Francisco and Madison on-line galleries, and contact me for ordering information or to design a custom piece for your home or business. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
