Welcome! I am an artist inspired by the soul of place and the simple elegance of the natural world. My paintings bring to life the beauty, wonder, and mystery reflected in the world around us and the worlds within us. My paintings begin with an immersive experience in nature. I then deepen my observation and exploration through sketches, writing, and photography. New Dawn Studios is home to my creative offerings, and I currently live and work near the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia.

I see art as invitation to life. In my work, I explore inner and outer landscapes, using color, texture, and movement to convey the sweeping stories of land, sea, and sky and our soul’s journey through time. So often, we move through life disconnected from what matters most. Through my art, I seek to capture glimpses of life, the ever-changing landscape, and what is alive inside. I hope my art touches your true nature and supports you as you come fully to life and live in full expression.
