Inspired by many happy walks with my dog in my home state of Oregon and neighboring state Washington. I love the colors and texture through the seasons. With this series I explored the rugged natural forms using mixed media.

Mexico inspired these bright colorful frame-on-frame exploration paintings, using the windows and joyful colors of homes about the landscape. (Mixed Media, 6x6)

A celebration of the coast with watercolor and ink. A bounty of sea life - plants and animals. (Water Color & Ink)

A consistent theme in my work, they symbolize: opportunity, a journey and one that brings new inspiration with every return. (Mixed Media on Clay board)

Whether at home or on travels I love to visit parks. It is a moment of solace that is often overlooked in a often chaotic world. The harmony and balance of parks in city spaces offers a range of inspiration, and a joy to play with the balance of light, color and space. (Mixed Media)

My travels took me to the beautiful rich land of New Zealand. Perfectly inspired by the landscape, surrounding Aboriginal Art and the Great Barrier Reef. (Mixed Media)

Oh Paris! (Mixed Media)

These darlings made a nest outside my window at home and I felt so delighted by their visit that they inspired a new theme "Birds." (Mixed Media)
