Behind the Easel
ARTISTIC FOCUS
Nature • Healing • Connection
​
Living and painting in the Pacific Northwest, my work is deeply rooted in the moods of our surrounding landscapes—from the soft mist rolling over forested ridges and rushing waterfalls to golden evening light spilling across open fields. Working primarily in oils and watercolors, both in the studio and en plein air, I strive to capture not just the visual scenery, but the atmosphere and quiet solace found in being fully present outdoors.
Alongside my art practice, my background in healthcare and nursing informs the heart behind every brushstroke. Caring for others requires stillness, deep listening, and an eye for the delicate balance of resilience and grace. These same values guide my canvas: weaving rich textures, organic palettes, and intentional light into timeless pieces designed to bring warmth, grounding, and quiet beauty into your home.
When I’m not mixing pigments, you can usually find me exploring our regional and national parks, scouting scenic viewpoints, or spending time with family and our dog.
