I’ve been making art my whole life.

Everything I make is spirit inspired and intended to help create a certain magic in your environment.

May you love how you feel where you are.
This is the wish behind my craft.

 
 

The work

The aroma from my palette and the hum of my heat gun envelope me as I create metaphorical paintings.

Intuitive guidance is ever present and leads my creative process. My expressive voice has been nurtured though my love affair with this ancient medium of encaustic. The process of building layers with this hot, liquid medium of beeswax, tree resin and oil pigments nourishes my soul. There is a beautiful, fluid rhythm in the process that echoes the ebb and flow of life. Alternating back and forth between a hot, liquid state to a cool, fused and set state; the work develops and evolves through countless layers. I like to offer you a visual journey through patterns and passages with contrasts between transparent and opaque, light and dark, textured and smooth. Most of all, I love to embed symbolic images and objects for you to discover. I hope that they spark a connection for you.
