Portfolio

The Koi Pond Series grew out of an intention to feel centered or grounded in a time of transition. Our family relocated to Pennsylvania and our new home has a beautiful koi pond stocked with fish in the backyard. This has become a sanctuary for me to sit, meditate, practice yoga and paint.

Pond life is continually moving and changing with the weather, the seasons, as well as moment to moment. Some of the smaller pieces are snapshots - moments frozen in time. The larger paintings and mixed media drawings are more like the water itself, constantly in flux, with life shifting above and below the surface. Process and presence are part of an ongoing investigation and connection to something larger than self.
