About Page

I paint to explore.

I'm an artist, mystic, gardener, entrepreneur, and lover of nature.

This is one way to learn about the world: by looking closely at its plants and creating art and archetypes with them. When I draw or paint a plant, I become acquainted with its climate, its soil, its history, and its plant and animal neighbors. For me, plants are another form of Tarot or oracle work, along with being medicine, materials for making, food for the stomach, and food for the eyes. I don't believe that you can visit a plant too often or adore art too much.

See also: birds and pumpkins. I really like birds and pumpkins.

More concretely; I'm a middle-aged woman In Livermore, CA. I travel all over the place to look at nature and make friends and visit chosen family and other folks. I'm happiest when I'm making art: salt dough sculptures, dying fabric, painting, drawing, crocheting, crafting, or whatever else I get up to.
