Welcome! I’ve been working from my home studio for more than 30 years in the small rural community of Los Alamos, California approximately 26 miles inland from the Central Coast. It’s a stunning environment full of natural visual richness fueling my creativity each and every day.
I offer giclée art prints of my original printmaking, photography, spritz (spray) painting, cyanotype and digital creations. I also create pattern/surface designs as singles or in collections for purchase or licensing. In both cases, the work always relates to nature.
I love gathering specimens from my environment as part of my process. I may pull off the road to gather branches and leaves from a tree I’d been admiring, or acquire vines from a winemaker’s vineyard, receive a ‘gift’ from a neighbors backyard, or gather palette samples from the landscape, seascape or lichens on a rock. I keep my iPhone handy to capture whatever shape, pattern, color, or texture catches my attention and archive images for later use.
The act of gathering, photographing, printing and designing with natural materials makes my process of art making deeply gratifying. Ultimately, the outcome is my expression of that joy.
