​Nature – from the beginning – has been my Muse.

​

Art is a vehicle for me to tap into the flow and breath (and breadth!) of the universe.

​

Named for the "Muses", my inspiration is driven by an intrinsic curiosity, connection and reverence for the natural world and a sense of responsibility to inform through beauty.​

​

My approach to creativity is steeped in the principle that art is a sacred, complex vehicle having the innate quality of transporting us into different realms and alternate perspectives, creating visceral responses and awakening awareness. An artist, in some respects, becomes a sort of translator whose visions (works) have the ability to convey the subtle and invisible. This has the potential to create deep connection and reverence for the natural world, moving us beyond a mundane existence towards greater appreciation for beauty in all its forms and love for all living things.

​

My focus in the last 5 years has been oil painting though I still  pursue expression in the art of Raku,mixed media collage, pastels, Scientific illustration, sculpture, printmaking, poetry and music. Through all of these, I strive to give a visual voice to my inspiration and to explore the connection between nature, science, art, ancient history, and humanity. … art is my love affair with life.
