I'm an abstract painter and photographer with a passion for color and the forms of nature. Even as a child, I felt awed by the wonders of nature. As an adult, I realize that my love of beauty has inspired my life.

I enjoy writing and have finished numerous short stories and four novels with feminist and earth stewardship themes. I've tabled the writing for now, in order to do art, but I hope to get back to it someday.

I love our planet and hope that my words and images will reinforce our connection to nature and our resolve to protect our home.

My blog features my photography, painting, and writing, and ideas about life, creative process, and preserving our planet. I'm interested in the spiritual aspect of making art and how it reflects our connection to the universe. I'm happy to share my love for Earth and some of my creative journey with you....
