I am a creative, trying to find time to paint and draw within the crevices of any spare time.

This is me, in the raw, starting with imperfect and trying to find my own voice through artistic expression.

Exploring ways to interpret a landscape using the decorative papers that I love.
Not ready to do a painting yet. Working on composition and abstraction first.
Landscapes were my first love, so it is exciting to think about re-interpreting landscapes again as a way to extend my work.

“Between worlds, the crow carries what the living cannot yet know”

Charcoal on paper. 12 × 12 inches.

A crow in flight — the cloud scrollwork moves the way breath moves, feeling like a moment between moments. Neither here nor there. Neither arriving nor leaving.

In Haida tradition the crow crosses between worlds at will. In Norse mythology Odin’s ravens carry thought and memory home at dusk.

“She made no announcement. And then, without warning, this.”

Oil, cold wax, chiyogami paper collage, and gold foil on board. 24 × 24 inches.

Two irises from our garden — one built entirely from seigaiha chiyogami, pattern becoming petal, the other painted in deep velvet purple.

This is a painting about the bravery of returning. The iris does it every year without being asked — pushing up through cold ground, opening without apology, bringing the whole garden back to life one purple bloom at a time.

Title is after Louise Glück, “The Wild Iris.”

“Even among the cherry blossoms, the magnolia burned gold”

Oil, cold wax, chiyogami paper collage, and gold foil on board. 24 × 24 inches.

We found these in Osaka — huge, perfect saucer magnolias growing quietly among the plum and cherry blossoms, unbothered by the company they were keeping. Two blooms on a single branch, chiyogami petals carrying their own interior worlds of pattern, the gold foil ground warm and luminous beneath them.

This is a painting about peace. And joy. And the specific happiness of finding something beautiful when you weren’t quite expecting it.

“In the slow trailing of a golden afternoon, the lobelia whispered violet”

Oil, cold wax, Japanese paper collage, and gold foil on board. 12 × 12 inches.

Trailing blue lobelia from a summer afternoon — small flowers that stop you mid-step if you’re paying attention. Gold foil and deep indigo chiyogami carry them, the vines moving the way a good conversation does — unhurried, no particular destination.

Romance lives in moments like these.

Been inspired by Klimt and Japanese screens lately. Creating some 24x24 pieces with gold foil

“In a slip of fallen sky, the iris speaks in gold and indigo”

Oil, cold wax, and Japanese chiyogami paper collage on gold foil. 8 × 10 inches.

A single iris, built entirely from pattern and paper — deep indigo chiyogami petals against a luminous gold foil ground, torn edges honored and visible. Small enough to hold in your hands. Too beautiful to look away from.

Title is after a poem by Madison Julius Cawein.

Making progress on this large (50x50 inches) canvas. This is a little peak into how all that texture and layering starts - this is maybe 1/2 way through the ongoing artistic conversation I am having with this work.
I start with a drawing, then a color wash and then gluing the Japanese (or other) papers on in key places. And finally I start painting and blending with oil and cold wax.
The piece will change and shift through out the whole process as decisions are made, second guessed and changed as I continue to evaluate the piece as a whole…
Stay tuned to see where this conversation ends.
