Her pieces invite reflection on humanity’s resilient connection with nature, emphasizing both beauty and responsibility in a shared world.
Artist Statement
These paintings are an exploration of the aspen parkland through the stories of dreams, lived experience and imagined realities. My interest in ritual, folktale and family history are embodied and synthesized through the act of painting. The work is an invitation to the viewer to experience beauty, enchantment, transformation and introspection within our winter landscape.
