With Nature

Introducing "With Nature," my newest project that focuses on connecting with the world around me through art. Inspired by folk art, particularly rosemaling, quilting and storybook illustrations, this work aims to capture the beauty and essence of nature in a unique and expressive way.

My hope is that when you engage with these works you are left with a feeling or warmth and nostalgia. As if you have turned back the pages of time and gotten to feel the deep magic that is rooted in childhood. I hope my work evokes whimsey and curiosity and makes you slow down as you discover all the details hidden within each piece.

This new collection will be showcased at my art show this January. The show focuses on my watercolor illustrations but also features print making and non traditional rosemaling. These three projects have worked together to inform one another. As one project forms it inspires how I approach another one of my works, as I move from carving and inking to flat watercolor to three dimensional acrylic paintings.
