I am a landscape painter who recently entered the world of abstracts. The change was prompted by the birth of my son, and it has been a freeing and playful respite from the demands of motherhood.
My act of rebellion in the face of a world that seems to be full of darkness is to make things that inspire hope, delight, and wonder, in order to remind people that we are surrounded by beauty and mystery, and that the story is not over.
And so, I create paintings big, small, and wall-sized, I make mail art, fiber art, activity zines for kids, artwork of the animals we share our lives with, whatever I can use to help myself and others feel more connected, curious, and alive, and to spread the message that it is ok to enjoy our one wild and precious life.
