About The Artwork
I am very inspired by children and by their wondrous and amazing imagination. They are the most wonderful artists, too and their paintings and other creativity truly inspires me. I worked as a preschool teacher for many years and always loved doing art with the children. Their ability to see beyond the finished art work, but rather to feel the entire experience of creating, always made sense to me. They weren't concerned about how their painting would look when it was finished. They wanted to get the feeling of the paint and to get close to their imagination. That is what I have tried to express in this painting....how children are so natural at expressing themselves and experiencing that expression. They play so freely and create just as freely. I also tried to remember my own childhood through this painting. I grew up in a very creative family of musicians, artists and writers so I have wonderful memories of our creative and bohemian family. This painting reflects my love of fairy tales and storytelling. I also imagined what Europe must have been like many years ago with it's deep history and beautiful culture. These imaginings are expressed in this painting as well. I love working on large canvases, too, so I felt very free painting on such a large surface. This is truly one of my most favorite paintings.

United States
I have been an artist since 1987 when I began creating small whimsical art from nature: fairy furniture and fairy houses created from natural materials. My husband and I and our two sons lived on a little farm in Washington state. I was fascinated with the wildflowers and plants near our home and also grew a large garden of flowers and herbs. I would go for long walks collecting these beautiful treasures to turn them into fairy tale pieces. Many years later, I started painting and truly loved that experience. I came from a very creative family of artists, musicians and writers so I loved art of any kind. When I was growing up, we always lived in rural areas, in the mountains, by the ocean and even in an old hunter's cabin. All of these influences made a real impact on me in giving me a wonderful appreciation and love for art and nature. I have been married for 44 years, my husband is also an artist and we have two sons who are a composer and a filmmaker, so we have continued the creative legacy on. I am very grateful to be an artist and to express my love for this life.
