I believe we each have a sacred place of beginning. a creation story that guides and supports our life.

My creation story began as a young child where my love of earth was nurtured through: roaming in the woods of Minnesota, wandering throughout my grandmother's garden, or sorting through her collection of polished stones,each connectiono and cultivatingg my own sense of beauty and grace.

My dream as a child held the desire to hear and connect with the voice of Mother Earth. This dream continues to fuel each one of my paintings, as I strive to capture the essence of earth wisdom, stories, and knowledge.

It would be years later, as I began my journey as a young mother I sought this level of wisdom once again among the trees.

It was through leaning into my intuitive nature, m clairvoyance and the gift of the form of the mandala, I began to seek an avenue of expression of my own experiences with the divine story unfolding in my own life.

The Mandala allowed me to sink into a timeless place within, where images, feelings, and words of wisdom would arise. My unique expression was developed over time and continues its evolution.

It is through my own self-discovery of the Intuitive language of color, form, and movement I continue to cultivate and deepen my connection to the healing, loving, inspiring, guiding language of the living soul.

I continue to be inspired by the ageless wisdom of love, possibility, and connection to the mystery through sacred geometry, colors, textures, and symbols that arise from my paintings.

I have come to the place in my own journey where the sharing of my painting has become an essential part of my own becoming.

As love and light are woven into the tapestry of each of our own stories, may these creations enhance and inspire your creative fires, cultivating one’s ability to restore, realign, rebalance, and re-harmonize the journey of the Soul.
