When I'm not playing the active role of wife and mother, I try to spend as much time outdoors as I can; walking through trails, paddling down rivers, and swimming in natural bodies of water. Immersing myself in the sounds, smells, and sights of the wild gives me a sense of belonging that I don't have to search very hard for.
Most of my adventures begin in the dark. I drive miles away, sometimes with no predetermined destination, and find a place to start my walk to see what the light reveals to me. There are many elements of beauty in the natural world, but it's the light that shines on them that draws me in.
The Sun reveals warm vibrant colors that bring a dreamlike quality to any scene. The moon and stars evoke a hypnotic sense of wonder for the expanse of space in which we exist. The light glimmering in the eye of an other species invites me in to spend time in its presence, creating a special bond.
The emotions, sensations, and connections that I experience in the field have such a positive effect on my mental health and wellbeing. It is my intention to share that wellbeing with others through my artwork.
I believe that there is light within each living thing, and sharing that light is essential to a life of fulfillment.
