I have always been drawn to the creative realm. I remember avidly drawing and creating as a child. I began my career with a degree in art and worked as a graphic artist, illustrator and photographer for an international manufacturing company for a few years while taking part in area art shows. I then took a different career path in educational media and later instructional technology in higher education and corporate training where I produced video and multi-media programs and created and administered award winning distance learning programs.
Fifteen years ago I came full circle and began to paint and create art again. My artistic efforts soon merged with my interest in energy medicine and through my study and practice of shamanism my art work focused on energy in its various forms. I realized that art has always been the creative thread in the tapestry of my life. It connects me to the seen and the unseen, to this world and to others, and to the web of inter-connectedness that is everything. My art is about energy, including the energy of the five elements: earth, fire, water, air, and aether.
And at the heart of this energy is light.
My paintings, photographs and installations have been displayed in numerous galleries (often as one person shows), have been on loan to healing organizations, and are part of the personal art collections of individuals around the country and the world.

My Inspiration
My Background
My primary medium for painting is acrylic on canvas which gives me the freedom I need to express myself. However, I don't limit myself to any one medium because I believe that would limit what is possible.

My primary medium for painting is acrylic on canvas which gives me the freedom I need to express myself. However, I don't limit myself to any one medium because I believe that would limit what is possible.
My photography was born out of film but now it is primarily digital. I minimize digital manipulation through software and still rely on the photographic techniques I originally learned. However, if an image can best tell its story through digital processes then I will let it speak.
My installations vary based on the concept. For example, my portal series is made from wood or metal doors hung from wood or steel frames with appropriate hardware. My "Riding High" piece is steel and bicycle construction.

I see my art as a connective experience between the artist and the viewer. I believe a blank canvas, an open space, or an object to be photographed is an invitation to engage in a creative process that summons the energy and connects the viewer, the artist, the artwork and the energy to something more than just what they see.
I hope you enjoy the work I have presented here. These paintings, photographs and installations represent selected pieces that I have created over the past several years that have been displayed in numerous galleries and/or purchased for personal collections, or are still available for purchase.
