Artist (encaustic, mixed media, photography, digital art); teacher & student; all around curious person.
I created this piece, “Adrift”, for my “Landscapes of Hiraeth” series — it depicts the emotional undertow of exile & longing; the ship’s voyage being a metaphor for the soul’s journey through memory & yearning (encaustic on a 12X24” cradled panel).

Happy Holidays from our home to yours. I made this little encaustic angel to top our Christmas tree today. She was inspired by the art of Anne Neilson. 🎄

I’ve been feeling the need to invoke/evoke the elders, which led me to create an encaustic/mixed media Curandera series I’m calling “A Murmuration of Grandmothers”.
