Is there anything better than a day spent outside exploring in the woods? My years growing up on Lake Ontario in New York State cultivated in me a lifelong fascination with the natural world. My love of growing things led me to train at the Brookside School of Botanical Art and Illustration, just to see if I could learn to draw them. That ignited my dedication to botanical art, a path I have followed since 2004. I have been exhibiting since 2007, and many of my pieces are now held in private collections. I credit the many internationally known artists for unveiling this world and teaching me.

North American

Studying plants in their habitat is the first step in capturing their fleeting and often fragile nature.

Tropical

A faithful and beautiful recreation of Hawaii’s wild, wonderful shapes and hues, present everywhere.

About Me

The Orchid Dancer

Please take a few moments to view my galleries of North American botanical artwork and tropical beauties.

If you have a favorite flower or plant, why not contact me to discuss your ideas for your own special painting? I especially enjoy working with watercolors, graphite, and colored pencils.
