My reverence for the beauty that surrounds us (qualities, essences, patterns, aesthetics and more) and what it evokes in us inspires me to create. I find photography and adorning images with tactile methods (see encaustics and water soluble print making) is healing. I find myself turning toward these elements, as they allow me to “touch” on more subtle levels thereby opening a spaciousness within. That felt sense in turn translates to a deeper appreciation of life. Take a look and notice what you feel.
