A little about me -   
Growing up in rural Alaska in the ’60s where my parents homesteaded, I spent countless hours outdoors exploring the woods, the beach, kayaking with humpback whales and zooming around in our skiff. I have commercial fished on my own boat as well as crewed for others.
Lying in my bed at night I would fall asleep to the sound of the waves on the beach, a gentle rhythmic melody or a fierce pounding from the wild storms. House shaking gales produced incredible sunsets afterwards. My beloved memories and my life in Alaska have been inspiration that translates to my work.​ 
My first studio was quite unique. My dad had just torn out the old wooden water cistern that we used to catch rainwater for the household. The shed it was housed in turned out to be the best studio ever: a waterfront studio with a breathtaking view, whales going by, sunsets and storm driven waves crashing onto the shore – truly inspiring! 

My medium is fluid acrylics and resin painting. I love the way the colors flow into each other, taking over my intention. Most of all, I love that my customers tell me they smile every time they look at their chosen painting. Although I continue to create mosaics, the dynamic movement and blending within the color combinations of fluid acrylics are always an intriguing surprise.
