Edge of Heaven 18×24 Acrylic on Canvas
Each day begins and ends with twilight. I love painting the dawn or dusk as the drama of light shines brightly into my soul.

Malahat view of Finlayson Arm and Olympic range 30×40 ORIGINAL SOLD
Storms come and go throughout our lives. Experiencing them help me understand the life cycles of the earth and how we are are so interconnected thus part of those cycles.
