Observation of my surroundings and 

environment serves as inspiration 

for the majority of my work.  

Several of my paintings explore 

memories of spiritual settings and 

locations I have visited, such as 

vast skies over the Rocky Mountains, 

an ancient olive tree orchard in Israel, 

peaceful rolling hills of Tennessee, 

earth tones of the Santa Fe desert, 

pure, unadulterated colors 

of a French landscape, 

or the golden sunset over the Pacific.

Playful modification of the art materials 

I choose also reveals impressionistic 

blurred flower compositions that become 

part of my "Secret Garden" series. 

 The background is a mix of soft blues, 

greens, and grays with swirling, 

textured brushstrokes.  

The delicate scribbles and lines 

in the background 

adds an asemic intuitive script 

to the composition without 

distracting from the main subject.  

Peach tones, pinks, reds, and 

periwinkle blues are among 

the many flowers scattered throughout, 

merging the hues to create 

an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere.
