Artist Statement

Rolling in the surf for millions of years, through times of tranquility and turbulence, sharp and jagged stones are patiently sculpted into smooth, beautiful pieces. There are lessons to be learned from this.

I've always been drawn to the water and its treasures, specifically that of the Great Lakes. Time spent along the untamed shores of Lake Superior revives and deepens one’s connection to the beauty and wisdom of the natural world. It is a humbling and refreshing experience — one to be treasured and shared.

I share my experience through watercolor paintings of stacked beach stones, illustrating the natural beauty that surrounds us and reminding us of the balance necessary to live a rich, fulfilling life. The colors in my paintings are intentionally chosen for their symbolism and are those on display throughout the days, months, and seasons along the shores of Gitche Gumee, the greatest of the Great Lakes.
