I love spending time in nature, traveling, and learning about other cultures.  Always aware of color, pattern, and texture, these life experiences are inspiration for my work. The inherent warmth and luminosity of encaustic, combined with the tactile effect achieved with my signature drop method of applying the paint, combine to engage those who encounter it. Each piece becomes a testament to the interplay of color, echoing the vibrant palette of a sunset, the nuanced tones of a rain storm, or the rich hues of a bustling market—a celebration of nature's palette and the indelible imprints left by my travels.
