During COVID more so than any other time in my life being creative, in particular painting helped ground me and keep me in the moment. It gave me time to reflect and appreciate all the people, places and things in my life. Animals and landscapes are two focus subjects of my work but during COVID I seemed to gravitate towards landscapes more. Nature helped fuel my creativity.
"Changing Winds" was painted in the height of COVID when there was some news and hope that a vaccine was on its way. I hoped that the winds were changing, and we would be able to see loved ones again.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My creative methods include painting, stitching (by machine and by hand), writing and hand papermaking. My work explores themes of slowness, the passage of time, of juxtapositions, and of regeneration. Much of my work incorporates methods and materials that are highly tactile and require time in their development. Through my practice I aim to counter the frenetic pace of our highly digitized age where faster is often deemed better. Many of my mixed media abstract landscapes and paintings are influenced by my daily walking practice where I attune to the many non-human lifeforms we share our planet with.
