Where beeswax, fire, nature, & stories converge

Cherish all I see, feel, touch, taste, smell and experience for it is all a gift… the mess and the goodness.

Collected Along
The Way

Objects, symbols, and fragments that continue to find their way into my paintings.

“To be fed by wildness is to desire nature so deeply you find bliss every where.
Every day. Every hour. Waiting. Reaching for you.”

– Victoria Erickson

The Mermaid
and the Dolphins

Mermaids symbolize mystery, intuition, feminine power, transformation, and the deep unconscious; representing both allure and danger; while Dolphins signify joy, guidance, protection, harmony and intelligence, often seen as messengers of the sea, bridging human and the natural world; together, they represent a powerful connection to the ocean’s depths, emotional wisdom and spiritual messages.

“Consider soulmates to also
be in the form of friends and animals, the wind, the tides, the plants, pieces of art, and the moon.
Great love
lives everywhere.”

From my Studio Journal

By The Sea

Every painting begins long before the first brushstroke. Sometimes it starts with a shell found on a morning walk, a conversation, an old photograph, or simply a feeling that refuses to leave. In this journal, I share the stories, memories, symbols, and moments that become my paintings—the quiet observations that eventually find their way into wax, pigment, and fire.
