About

The Arts have always been a part of my life. Since the age of eight I’ve always had a sketchbook, a camera, a love of the written word and an overactive imagination. It didn’t hurt to have a creative and open-minded mother too! As a child I spent hours, sometimes an entire day, outside, roaming the nearby woods, streams and rivers. I brought home from these journeys little bits of nature. Pebbles, stones, leaves, turtle shells, bird’s nests and even the occasional live frog or salamander. Nature was my first art teacher and remains the most influential to this day. As an adult, I’m still roaming the woods and bringing home bits of this and that in my pocket. I still sketch, but more often I paint in Acrylics and Watercolors. My favorite subjects are natural objects (no surprise there).

Outside the visual arts, I am a proud book nerd, lover of all things SciFi, Fantasy and Horror, and a writer. My blog Imagination Run Amok is an extension of this side of my personality.
