This new mixed media technique combined with seeing my surroundings and dwelling places differently have totally affected my creative life. What was literally boring for me before is now exciting and new with endless possibilities once I saw them differently and started playing and praying the mountains onto page! Painting the landscapes is a type of prayer and artistic response to God over His creation; my abstract interpretation of color, form and line. The image of Cashmere North framed, is an example in an environment where the viewer may see the ratio accurately depicted. This photo supposes the print is size 11x14”.

This painting is from the Northwest series done in mixed media, which were created as a type of ‘living prayer’ for the places around the valley I grew up in, as well as other Northwest destinations that have had special meaning and are close to my heart. Mountains have always fascinated me with the strength and beauty they represent and inspire me to create. I hope this series creates a connection for you with the peace and beauty of this part of the Northwest I call home.
