Artist Statement

The meditation offered by the humble still life is as timeless as it is comforting. In stopping to admire the opalescent layers of an onion skin, or the sensual juiciness of fresh cut limes, a brief moment of calm and serenity is found in a world upon which we can only rely for upheaval and change. Through the delicacy of watercolor, I focus on familiar subjects of local nature or vegetables and fruit we likely all have in our kitchens. I encourage viewers to pause and take it in: to recognize the beauty we all have in our homes, the meditation surrounding us, and the peace we already have.
