When You Sit Quietly You See Many Things acrylic on paper 13 x 13 An ongoing theme in my work is the interconnectedness of all life and that the wellbeing of humanity is directly related to the health of our natural world. With living in the woods in Maine and traveling extensively, I have had the gift of experiencing nature in many parts of the world. This painting was done in a small village in Japan while my family and I were traveling around the world. While sitting a very long time with my daughter on the side of a river we were able to observe this graceful egret. I strive to convey through color and brushwork what my direct experience is in a place. Over the past ten years, I have moved from realism to full abstraction. This painting is my early stages of abstraction in which I was loosening up by using a palette knife. My work comes from my heart and seeks to offer healing and hope. It is a vehicle to see strength and beauty and to connect with the infinite wisdom of the earth.

Curiosity oil on linen canvas 12 x 12 Magpies are seasonal residents at our farm in SW Colorado. They are widely considered to be very intelligent and close observation, proves this to be true. They are opportunistic and clever food gatherers. "Curiosity" was created to highlight the magpie, known for its intelligence and curiosity, and to symbolize communication and connection. In order to capture the serene beauty of nature through the lens of a striking magpie, I placed him perching gracefully on a branch. The bird's vibrant blue and white plumage contrast beautifully against the muted background. Delicate branches add a touch of elegance, and create a harmonious balance between the subject and its environment.

Chicks acrylic on board, papers, inks 12 x 12 This piece was a reflection, inspiration from walking on a street in my town, that allows chickens to roam freely. These chickens run loose as do the tourists who frequent the street. It reminds me of the women who seemed to be gossiping as they walked. This was my impression as I recalled and I painted into a story I named it"chicks". Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

My Summer Friend watercolor, Inks, oil sticks, sgraffito on clayboard 14 x 11 Each summer, I return to my homeland and spend five weeks drawing and painting my natural surroundings and its creatures, especially the sheep on the Nature Reserve behind our house. Clayboard is particularly suitable for showing the various textures because it takes almost any medium. Rhys the Ram and his ewes are quite tame because they are used to people, so it is a pleasurable experience. This work is my attempt to keep what time has already taken.

I visit the spot several times spending approximately 3 hours at the spot at the same time each day I paint there.

Fish of Fowl and Flower mixed media 7.4 x 9.5 I am a multidisciplinary artist, author, and lifetime educator. My creative practice is a dialogue between nature, technology, and the transformative power of narrative. I seek to bring overlooked details into sharp focus—a visual philosophy that mirrors my professional dedication to finding the unique story within the larger picture of a lived life. My work is deeply influenced by symmetry, color, and relishing the unpredictable. This fascination with "the story within" has evolved into my current exploration of the natural world through found objects. By repurposing terrestrial elements—such as rooster feathers and pressed botanicals, I aim to deconstruct their original forms to tell an entirely new story, reimagining the familiar as something unexpected and ethereal.

Geoff the Blue Jay fiber art 8 x 12 My work combines textile, stitching, and found materials to create layered assemblages that move between wall-based imagery and sculptural form. Through fabric collage, embroidery, patchwork construction, and soft sculpture, I build immersive environments and hand-crafted creatures that exist somewhere between observation, memory, and imagination. Nature serves as both inspiration and point of departure. Oceans, deserts, forests, birds, and animals appear throughout the work, not as direct representations, but as elements within imagined ecosystems shaped through texture, fragmentation, and narrative. I am drawn to the tactile language of fiber as fabric can suggest terrain, skin, history, and emotional presence simultaneously. Visible seams, frayed edges, and layered surfaces remain intentionally exposed throughout my process. These marks of construction function as evidence of transformation and repair, suggesting that both landscapes and living beings are formed through accumulation, adaptation, and change. The patchwork structures within the sculptural animals especially reflect an interest in resilience and identity assembled from fragments. My framed works often resemble windows into contained worlds, while the sculptures extend those worlds into physical space. Together, the pieces create an interconnected visual language where creature and environment inform one another. Ultimately, my work invites close looking and tactile awareness. Through layered materials and detailed construction, I aim to create spaces and forms that feel intimate, immersive, and open to personal interpretation.
