Living in the contrasting environments of the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Burlington, Vermont, I am connected to a deep sense of place. I feel this connection in the Barrier Islands of NC through the constant shifting of the sands and the power of the ocean. I feel this connection in the Green Mountains of Vermont in the grounding presence of the mountains and the fluidity of the rivers. 

     I incorporate wood, acrylic, resin, nautical and topographical charts, driftwood, and sand to create art that expresses the energy of Universal Connection, present in both places.
