From bird watching in Hawai’i to flight seeing glaciers in Alaska, my journey takes me across breathtaking landscapes and vibrant ecosystems. Along the way, I invite you to check out my inspiration, travel stories, and unique experiences that shape my art. Art is life! Through my work, I aim to capture the essence of each moment, inviting you to experience the world through my eyes.

My painting technique layers bubbles blobs and splatters. The hyper colors with abstracted style feeds into my paper collage art as well. After years of making bubbles in my art, I thought that would be a great title for my blog.

Welcome to BUBBLY BRUSHES.

I paint my life, what I see and how I feel. While swimming, diving, bird watching and hiking inspire my creativity in paint. Many scenes are autobiographical, others are abstracted visions of the night skies and natural treasures here in Hawai’i where I live and work.

Painting is my passion and I'm always working on new pieces, or adding to older ones, never quite unseeing new ideas and imagery as I revisit them over time. 

Original OIL paintings are available NOW on my ETSY and I am offering prints of ‘most’ as well.

Abstract Naturalism through Cosmic Feels

My BUBBLY BRUSHES create layers of multi colored investigations about the natural world, observable and intuited.

The style of my painting comes from a personal philosophy celebrating the dances of matter, particles, atoms and macro universes.
