April 2026
I want my art to add beauty and positive energy to the world. I’m mainly inspired by nature, especially birds.
After many years of mainly working in watercolor, in 2014 I started making prints. Making prayer flags was a big impetus for this. I loved the reason behind Tibetan prayer flags- to send prayers out into the world, and I wanted to make something to help create more caring, kindness, and goodwill among people and toward the environment. My flags are mostly of birds and other creatures, as are most of my other prints.
Living near the ocean, I often walk the shore to see which birds are near. As I observe and read about the lives of birds, I’m so impressed with all their challenges and grateful I have the chance to see them. Did you know a herring gull molts 9 times before it gets to its adult plumage?! So much to learn- about birds, other creatures, and each other.
I am a member of the Union of Maine Visual Artists and River Arts Gallery in Damariscotta. I have works and cards at Markings Gallery (where I am also a member) on Front St. in Bath and at The Mix on Maine St. in Brunswick.
