I am a progressive mixed media painter who lives in a remote hill town in
As a painter, I have exhibited my work internationally and have been recognized with numerous grants, residencies, and awards. Here are a few highlights of completed projects over the past few years:
In 2008, I traveled to
In 2010, I completed my first residency at
In 2011, I worked with
At the end of 2011, I exhibited a new body of work in a solo show at Gallery in the Woods in
This past year, 2012, I launched a successful Kickstarter project “Boundless” allowing me the opportunity to complete a residency fellowship in Mallnitz , Austria Lyon , France and to travel to Geneva , Switzerland

My work is included in numerous private collections. Articles about my art have appeared in many print magazines, newspapers, and online magazines. The most recent can be found in Artscope magazine and Super Consciousness
About my work:
I believe that we are all here carrying a unique piece of the divine spark and that we are here to bring that spark into the light of the world. My work has become an expression of that belief. Every day I see evidence that there is a divine pattern expressed in nature. Whether scientific or spiritual, I aim to express that interconnectedness in my paintings by creating compositions that show these correlations. We are all made up of the same stuff. It is our perceptions that make us unique, that impress what we manifest into the world and impacts how the universe expands. My recent work has led me in a new and unexpected direction. I am approaching my practice from the scientific theory of Unification also coined as the ‘Theory of Everything’. Although scientists are still searching for it, it is this one idea which unites and explains everything!
It was a poignant realization that the concepts I explore in my work are closely related to ones that many scientists are exploring in their research.
I want my work to be a bridge, to break boundaries, and to intersect art, spirit, and science. I am particularly drawn to concepts being explored in Theoretical & Quantum Physics and how they relate to the energetic realms that directly impact our minds and bodies. I am also fascinated by the work being done at IONS (The Institute for Noetic Sciences) in the field of human consciousness.

About my process:
I translate my ideas into preliminary “sketches” using current digital photographic techniques and software. Once I have arrived at a composition I feel passionate about, I experiment with black and white xeroxing to play with scale and then decide what size will deliver the strongest impact. Taking a trip back to my roots as a printmaker, I apply the “sketch” onto the work surface using an acrylic transfer process. I am then left with a black and white image on which to establish an initial layer of acrylic color. From there I build up the surface with oil paint using traditional techniques. My process opens up exploration into concept, imagery, and paint application, which allows me to grow and discover along the way.
