The redwoods are beautiful in their powerful, enduring presence, and are a symbol of sustainability. Also to me, they preach consistency, perseverance, and growth in the best possible way. The older they are, the more stately and inspiring. The more they reach for the light, the more nourished they are and the better they grow. Meanwhile, in their balance and consistent wisdom, just by being themselves, they breathe out into the world just what it needs. They are an example of health for all of us.

I’ve painted my whole life, but my artwork really took off when I started painting ideas, instead of people, places, or things. I love to start with an abstract idea, and then conceptually represent it. The first idea I painted was “confidence,” followed by summing up the essence of “July.” After that, I was hooked. I feel energized when I paint in this fresh and thoughtful way, and the result is very creative, authentic, and engaging. Because it’s so content driven, people who have purchased my work say it communicates a feeling of fullness, vibrance, satisfaction, and joy.
