Fascination with Nature

I create artwork in response to my fascination with natural world.  

The intersection of spiritual and artistic paths leads me to select subjects that convey the awesome wonder of sea, sky, mountains, rocks, and trees.  In some of my work I include figures representing the relationship between people and the natural world.

What is it that attracts them to experience nature together or alone?

Do they share my thirst for having these experiences over and over again?

My artwork is a form of worship to the God who created our mysterious and wonderful universe. The titles of my paintings, drawings, and monotypes* are often inspired by Bible passages that influence the concepts I intend to express.

I am an artist and teacher with certifications in Art Education, Elementary Education, Early Childhood, and Special Education. I currently serve as an elementary art teacher in the Newport/Mesa Unified School District. I also teach painting lessons to children and adults at my studio, Location 1980,  in Costa Mesa California. 

My art work is available for purchase directly from my studio or website.

Paintings identified as available through a gallery can be purchased and shipped from the 

Harperrose Studios in Leadville, Colorado. 

I have many private collectors and have received awards for my paintings from various venues and events including the Colorado Gallery of the Arts and the Denver Plein Air Exhibit.
