Mixed media flowers and landscapes

mixed media seascapes & landscapes

Like most of my paintings, these have between three and five layers of paint on them. I am striving to paint the essence of an object blending realism and abstractions creating artwork to move people emotionally. I invite you into the conversation. Do you feel the peace I feel when I'm surrounded by the mountains, oceans and streams? Paintings can be viewed online (zoom_chat) and we can discuss all the details you need to know before purchasing. Pricing can be found on the Shop page.

Using nature as inspiration and working within the realm of my imagination, no reference photos are used. A fleeting memory of what it is to be outside, in nature. Connecting to something greater than myself I aim to create something dreamlike, a walk into the here,now and beyond what you can see and touch.

On the dock at sunset 12x12

Painted in 2025. Do you love the sunset? I remember many nights fishing on the dock with my husband, peaceful and serene. A break from the working life. Inspired by the feeling of time outside, summer calling and the sound of the waves and smell of the sea.

Where the ocean meets the sky 12x12 - SOLD

Painted in 2025
Inspired by a love of the ocean, many days spent on the seashore, in a boat on the water – above and below. In my life I spend a lot of time walking my dog along the seashore and in the forest trails around Gibsons, admiring birds and fish interacting fueling the circle of life.

24x36 In the Arms of the Ocean

As I moved slowly I began to see more and more sea creatures popping out of the woodwork. Blocking them in and progressing with my intuition little by little it came together. The swirling white lines represent movement of the ocean the sky and man. They represent the full circle of life coming together.
"For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one," by Kahlil Gibran. This quote suggests that death is not an end but a natural transition, like the river flowing into the sea. Beautiful isn't it?
I have always had all these questions about life, death, God and the universe. A need to connect to the spiritual side of myself. A recognition that I can't do life on my own came as I was plummeted with pain and uncertainty. Again. How many times do we have to fall before we recognize that there is a better way to do life? I believe there is more to life than what I see, taste and touch each day. My paintings reflect the struggle of what it is to be human, have questions, doubt and pain - yet find the beauty in the moment as we survive and go forward.

18x24 Just out of reach

Painted in 2025.
This painting whispers come away with me. Inspired by the beauty of the mountains all around me. I used molding paste to create alot of texture and visual interest. The grey and teal toned blues give it a feeling of peace and tranquility, while the spark of red sienna and yellow ochre breath life into the subject. It would make a wonderful addition to your home. Painted in 2025.

12x12 Climbing the mountain

Painted in 2022
This painting took awhile to come together as I struggled for a good grip on color balance. The teals and violet hues add a sense of calm as the “water” falls. It has texture created with the acrylic paint and has the edges with the same style. It would make a wonderful addition to your home.

Heron 8x10

Painted in 2023
Inspired by my love of the herons and all of the walks along the seaside. Like when herons fly away after they've been scared off by a dog coming up on them by surprise, or after they've eaten their fill of fish for the day and are ready to move on.
