I came to writing later in life once I broke through the resistance. When I began writing on a daily basis, I found that my thoughts became less jumbled, I began to understand undercurrents in my work, and could give voice to the visions I create on canvas. Writing helped me to organize and prioritize my life and many of the choices I make. As with most things, once I got started, it was like a flood. I hope you enjoy my journey!

STUDIO GLIMPSES
Studio Glimpses: A Daily Journal of Creativity
Studio Glimpses is a daily journal offering a quiet window into the full scope of preparing new work — from painting, designing, and inspiration to research, material exploration, documentation, and the many unseen tasks that shape an exhibition. Through brief notes, images, and an occasional video, I share moments from each day in the studio, the gardens that inspire my work, and artists whose work speaks to me. Follow along on this journey as ideas unfold in preparation for my 2026 and 2027 Solo exhibitions.
NATURALLY INSPIRED
Art at the Edge of Understanding – My Substack Column
Naturally Inspired is a Substack column published every other week — a three-minute read for anyone who believes that a creative life is about far more than what happens at the easel.
I’m an oil painter and gardener, and both shape the way I see the world. But this column follows the whole of it — the questions I ask myself in the studio, the lessons the garden keeps teaching me, and the broader reflections that come from decades of making art and paying close attention to life.
