The strength, endurance and beauty of trees and lush forest undergrowth in the Pacific NW are my sustenance and inspiration. Surrounded by a forest of significant trees and woodland paths, I enjoy the subtle interplay of light and shadow with peek-a-boo views and terrain. Therein lies the path to my creativity. Encaustic painting is my preferred method for expressing this woodland environment. Using salvaged MDO plywood, I cut my wood into various pieces and assemble and construct landscapes of many paths from which to explore, and in the process... the forester’s daughter is revealed.
