My background and training are in spirituality, soul care and helping others listen for the traces of the Divine in our midst.  In the first half of my life I worked as Chaplain in diverse interfaith and ecumenical settings, and most recently, as Chaplain within a large retirement community. And with deep care and sensitivity to the Holy Ground of this privilege, I helped others say “goodbye” to this life.  Been the last voice they heard in this world.  In 2019, I decided to leave the realm of death and dying and endings, and restart my life in a new and more creative way. That was when I learned that the love and meaning that art brought to me in my childhood would be my teacher, my friend.  And a lifeline to a new way of being, to create, and speak of life and joy in this “second half” of my own living.   

 You see, the dying taught me this: live now. Move. Be joy in the midst of this crazy messed up world, not in spite of it.  Push back, and fight against darkness and despair.   

 My work is vibrant and energetic in both its process and outcome, using plaster trowels, gravity, and palette knives I can often be seen tossing paint onto large canvases in my outdoor pop-up studio while little boys on bikes cheer the process.  This work is inspired by the daily joy and privilege of living, and the creative, still voice inside that I hear while in quiet, meditating under deeply rooted trees, and while watching my dog enjoy every little flower on her path.   

 With paintings enlivening homes and businesses, I hope to make each day more playful and joyful, one painting at a time.
