bio: Plants fascinate me. I am drawn to their exquisite architecture, organic lines and robust palette. The juicy, vibrant colors of a flower capture my heart. I paint with encaustic because there is a satisfying unity between the plants that inspire me, the bees that pollinate them and the beeswax. This sensuous medium gives me the freedom to express my love for the wild braid of colors, lines and forms in plants.
on the importance of art:

Art gives us a chance to see the world in another way, offering beauty, meaning, insight and more to the viewer. What's so amazing about art is that everyone has the freedom to interpret it as they choose. There is no right or wrong way...just your way.
