I was out on an early Spring morning for a walk and came upon a park with a dozen or more profusely blooming Desert Willow trees. They were glorious! They inspired such a rich and full feeling in me of hope and new beginnings! They were also covered in bees busily floating flower to flower . . . it was so wonderful!

Desert Willow II is from the series, For the Bees which is about all the wonderful flowering plants that bees and other pollinators frequent. With this series, I want to bring attention to bee habitat and discussions about saving and creating new ones.

Most recently she has partnered with a clothing design company in Montreal Canada for her paintings to be reproduced on their clothing.

“Transformation. Movement. Flow . . . and the Energy within. The energy that exists in the visible, and the invisible as thought: its effect on us, and how we affect it down to the quantum level. This is what I and my work are all about. The pieces I create speak to hope, change, enlightenment, transforming and becoming better, weathering the storms and learning to swim within the chaos."
