I am inspired by fleeting moments of beauty in the world around me—a bird’s song, the play of light on water, the movement of water striders. I paint to be drawn in more deeply, to create with nature’s beauty- seen, heard and deeply felt- so that I may resonate with its rhythms anytime, anywhere.

     Over 30 years ago, I discovered the transformative power of engaging directly with living landscapes—through touch, sound, intuition, and pattern—while painting with both hands, often with my eyes closed to awaken less familiar senses. This practice brings me into sync with the flow of creativity, almost like flipping a switch. I’ve developed this approach into the Creative by Nature Art Method, and through this blog, I share a variety of these nature-inspired art encounters. My hope is to inspire you to tap into your own natural creativity, fostering joy, connection, and expressive art-making. I’d love to hear what inspires you, so please share your experiences. Let’s explore and create in harmony with nature together.
