Artwork, photographs, and writing shaped by the places I travel, the patterns I notice and the stories held within them.

CONNECTING THE DOTS

I found that creating art allowed me to connect the disconnect in me.

By looking at the world with an artist's eye, I connect to nature, to the creative energy in and around me, and to myself. The artwork, photographs and writing gathered here are part of that continuing practice-paying attention, recognizing patterns and connecting the dots.

The Cardinal and the Finch

Trees reaching into an open sky are the Foundation for the birds who visit. The Cardinal carries memories of loved ones, the yellow Finch brings a flash of brightness and the promise that winter will pass.

From the Journal

Essays, photographs and field notes from the road—about art, nature, courage, relationships and the patterns that become visible when I pay attention.
