Discovering ordinary things and making them extraordinary works of art.

 It is my delight to share with you some of my finding place treasures. Items my family and I have collected and I have transformed into works of art. It is not even just about the treasure painted. It is about the berries and pigment rocks found first to create the paint that each painting is created with. The walnut seeds from Tuscany. The vibrant berries found in our local roman park to make dies with. The pigment rocks my child foraged for me to uses in each painting.

Then the subject itself. A lot of those finding are still in my studio. Displayed for everyone to see. Porcupine needles, branches our butterflies lived on. So many dried flowers, that have carried themselves through this collection with vibrancy and memories for days.

Observe each painting carefully, because each one from before a brush stock took place to the very last one. A moment in my finding place has been shared with the deepest of care and largest smile.
