I see paintings when I am hiking in the woods and translate this magic through oil paint. The light filtering in between tree branches and reflecting on the water calls to me. When life gets bumpy, the woods calm me and fills me up with the wonder of a child. I am a conduit for what needs to be created, forever captivated by the beauty found in nature and moved to translate its message. “To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles.” Marie Davis.
