About The Artist
Throughout my life, I have been student of art, color and design. After a long successful career as a Graphic Designer, I felt the need to get my hands dirty once again, making art with raw materials instead of on a computer.
I am passionate about creating hand cast plaster pieces using live plant materials. The tactile detail that emerges as a result of the process embodies a touch of magic in the result. I make casts of a variety of flowers, fruits, vegetables, herbs and grasses and frequently create special commissions.
Additionally, I take great pleasure in creating one-of-a-kind bridal bouquet casts, which beautifully preserve the memory of the celebration for the bride and groom. Sometimes this design includes an entire bouquet and sometimes a few delicate stems, the flowers always inform the composition.
All of my cast plaster work comes ready to hang on the wall or place on a shelf.
Painting is where I started as an artist. I am drawn to the bright colors and subtle hues of florals and landscapes. I love the transparency of watercolors and the vibrancy and intensity available with acrylics. The process of painting is like a meditation, it brings me joy and also a stillness that I find nourishing.
