Project Description
I DREAM MY PAINING AND I PAINT MY DREAM
It is in those moments of unconscious awareness and daydreaming that many ideas are birthed. These are sacred times I always want to protect. As I pause and respond to this state of mind, I often receive a new vision. Now I am ready to create and complete my work.

“Just Passing Through”
Mixed Media on Board with Frame | 30.5″ x 54.5″
This mixed media painting is a collage of organic and inorganic elements with impasto acrylic gesso. I wanted to capture the fleeting nature of life, as in a myriad of leaves on still waters. In one moment floating, in the next drifting.
“Leaves Fascinate Me”
Mixed Media on Canvas | 24″ x 36″
The infinitely variable designs that nature presents led me to create this leaf-layered compostition of colors, texture and form.
“A Drop of Winter”
Mixed Media on Canvas | 24″ x 36″
On a rainy, autumn day while passing through the backwoods of rural Michigan, I was struck with a beautiful scene of falling leaves and flurries of snow dancing in the air.
