These paintings…
revolve around the idea of looking for beauty.
Finding comfort, kinship, and meaning in all kinds of things.
Giving them full attention.
A new moon against an early evening sky,
a train whistle in the still dark morning,
a conversation with a friend,
or even a loneliness that creeps in from time to time.
Who feels the prairie…
These words.
Each painting has a title written directly onto it—either a simple phrase, a full poem, or a haiku—and the words are essential to the painting being complete. I share some of the process in my blog. I also share my haiku-a-day—a practice to explore and communicate about feeling, memory, and the beauty of the world.

One purple iris…
An enduring idea.
My first exhibit of 40 paintings, “The Mind Bloom," which took place over three months at the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens was one of the best experiences of my life. The painting by that name was a special one and now hangs in a new home but the idea behind it remains with me: always inspired by nature—combined with thought, memory, poetry, and feeling.
