“Art is important. We tend to think that it is a luxury, but it gives people deep pleasure because beauty is the personification of hope that something grander is at work.”
Gill Dellinger

These principles are the heart of my artistic philosophy:
The ever-changing natural world is a well of inspiration.
From the lush Southern flora of the Blue Ridge Mountains where I now reside to the citrus-scented Pacific coast of my memories, my past and present surroundings continually stimulate my creative practice. My art expresses my abiding wonder at the richness of this world and the gratitude that I feel in response.
Layers of meaning surround each of us.
A glimpse of a rainbow, a child’s hug, sharing laughter with friends, the refreshment of an icy lemonade on a hot summer day–these little moments are as significant to our lives over time as grand milestones. Revelations of the glorious in the mundane endlessly fascinate me, and my work celebrates the value of these everyday delights.
Joy is always an excellent investment.
My art practice is a mediation on the light and grace in our world offered by an infinitely imaginative Creator. As an artist, my highest calling is to invite my collectors to feel that same deep sense of connection, renewal, and inspiration for years to come.
"You too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine."
Mary Oliver, "When I Am Among the Trees"
