Constellation Series
Growing up far from city lights allowed me to familiarize
myself with the skies of different seasons. I'd spend
hours outside at night finding pictures in the sky.
My passion for stars entered my art in 1997 when I found
an old star chart that mapped out the constellations of
the night sky. Each painted constellation reflects
the map's depiction of that formation of stars. I
am especially inspired to paint the astrological constellations
that coincide with the months of the year.
Commissioned Constellation
pieces are popular for birthdays, baby gifts, and nursery
décor. The recipient can choose the color scheme
and size of the canvas, but the constellation painted is
determined by the astrological sign of the celebrated event.

Abstract Works
In the solitude of my tree house studio, I connect with
the surrounding nature. My abstract pieces evolve
as my creative voice harmonizes with the sounds I hear and
the colors I see. Each painting is a collaboration
of internal and external forces.

Animal Portraits
Portrait painting is incredibly difficult for me.
To capture the essence of a living creature with brushstrokes
demands intense concentration and flawless execution.
I push myself because this realistic painting makes me a
better abstract artist.
