Creating makes my heart bigger.
I am an artist and storyteller who focuses on animals and nature. I share the stories behind each piece, including what inspires me. When I paint animals, I feel connected to something deeper. With every piece, my appreciation for the natural world expands, and I love knowing it does the same for my collectors.
That connection to nature has shaped the heart of my work. Animals and the natural world have always felt like home to me. Forest paths, mountain trails, lakeshores, and the Atlantic coast here in New England continually inspire what I create. Time outdoors fills me with a sense of joy and wonder that finds its way into every piece.
Because inspiration is everywhere, I do not limit myself to one medium. Variety keeps me learning and enjoying the process. I move between painting, photography, digital art, assemblage, and storytelling.
And ultimately, it is the feeling that matters most to me. When someone tells me a piece made them smile or pause for a moment, I know it has done what it was meant to do.
