Known for the subtle, quiet colors, my prints transport the viewer to a place of peace that is worth knowing and protecting. The waters and nature of the Great Lakes are my inspiration. Living in the northeastern lower peninsula, I seeks out the common beauty found in the lakes, rivers, and wetlands to transform into my art. I am passionate about showcasing and conserving these natural areas and capturing them in the ancient and complex Japanese art form of Mokuhanga. Learning from scientists, conservationists, and park rangers, as well as my own experiential wanderings, the art I create is embedded with the soul of place. From Mt. Fuji, Japan to Petrified Forest National Park of Arizona, understanding the eco-history of the world informs my works of Michigan.
