if from the head, almost nothing”

Art & Health

healthy mindset, fun, Realism & Expressive art

My two passions are Art & Health.  Without health we don't have a fulfilled life.  Part of a healthy lifestyle is having a passion in life, fulfilling your day with purpose, meaning, and enjoyment.   A success mindset plays a huge role in your outlook which translates to your nervous system relaxing and your body healing.

My passion is pastel painting.   I love the pastels for the slow building of layers and subtle blending or crisp lines.  I love watercolors for their freedom & letting go of control.  I’m finding I can really feel the subject I’m painting, get into the ‘zone’ and work the medium to best suit the subject.  

Being in that moment, that zone, where time does not exist, really feeling the subject on my canvas - that’s when I create my best pieces.  My style is to blend realism with expressiveness while creating a deep connection to the beauty of nature in landscapes and animal paintings.

It is my pleasure to humbly share my most recent works with you.  And I hope that my art brings inspiration, a moment of peaceful retreat, and possibly fond memories to you the viewer.   Please click on any image to enlarge.
