Raised surrounded by beautiful beaches and historical live oak trees of Northeast Florida, this artist embraced her passion for painting later in life, following a business career and raising her family. Her connection to nature, forged through travel and hiking, is the cornerstone of her work, driving her dream to paint something she sees in every U.S. national park. She seeks to capture both the stunning visual details and the immersive energy felt within these wild landscapes.
Utilizing two distinct acrylic techniques allows her to express this full spectrum. Traditional brushwork offers controlled detail for rendering specific forms and light, while the spontaneity of acrylic flow art conveys the movement and abstract essence of nature through fluid, organic patterns. This dual approach articulates the tangible beauty and intangible spirit she finds outdoors, affirming her belief that all she truly needs is a good hike and an empty canvas.
