About me

I create healing palettes for life-size expressionist paintings and textiles. Facing the challenge of a lifetime: to heal the self and the earth – I use emotion to transcribe feelings into vibrant chakra colors, grounded with gritty willow charcoal drawings.

I regulate the nervous system with earthy tones and stimulate the spirit with ethereal hues. Fusing fluid color and charred willow on canvas, I orchestrate an alternating flow of colorful alchemical light up through the heart.

I embody the landscape as I paint, at this sacred site where woodland streams flow from their Appalachian source of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed — through my studio by the pond — downstream to the Atlantic. Here I develop the color alchemy of self–my New Earth Goddess Healing Palette–with emotions that open the channel of colorful healing light within.
