Immediately as I saw this view of the sun illuminating the trees and the water, I felt the spirit of nature touch me. My heart wanted the deeper connection that creating a painting would bring. Thank you Stella Coultas for giving me permission to use it as a resource.

Initially I worked with oils but found the odour and cleanup unpleasant. Later I began sketching with a microtip pen and recognized the benefit of adding shadow with a soft pencil. It brought my images to life. My initial work with oils led me to acrylics. I love its flexibility and how easy it is to clean up. I love learning with Carey Carrick for over the past two years.

What comes from within me speaks through my hands and the media I use, becoming a means of sharing connection to the spirit of nature with the observer
