PageHeader As child was in love with Nature. Every chance got was outside wandering through the forests around our log home. was fascinated by the interplay of light and shadow though leaves and in dappled waters of the creek and mesmerized by the infinite textures colors and patterns found in tree bark moss and grasses and in fur bird feathers frog skin and fish scales. But was never able to spend every day outdoors. Each Sunday dutifully accompanied my devout family to church services where my greatest delight was gazing at the incredible intensity and patterns of the ornate stained glass windows that framed our sanctuary. loved the play of sunlight through glass. Everything inside the building seemed more precious when bathed in that rainbow colored light. Thus my pieces are inspired both by Nature and by the rich history of stained glass artwork. incorporate the geometric shapes and translucent colors of stained glass in my acrylic paintings and introduce the intricate patterns of the natural world into my stained glass works. PageHeader I specialize in creating art that celebrates the natural landscapes and the seasons of the year. My portfolio shows collections have sold in the past as well as pieces in progress for future collections. Peruse my web site portfolio at.
