I am a multi-disciplinary artist, loving the process of painting in acrylics, wax and oil. I love the messages from nature that speak to me daily in the simplest ways and yet give profound meaning to my life. I like to paint on large canvases or boards to really showcase the unnoticed and overlooked details in the organic world. My career as a professional artist has overlapped with the interior design industry in the painting of murals and hand-painted designs of all kinds and on a variety of surfaces.
