President Theodore Roosevelt raised his family in this beautiful place, Oyster Bay Cove, Between trees and water its views are inspiring, and because it is a National Park andHistoric site, you can visit as a guest!
Why do I paint nature? I am often stopped in my tracks by the way sunshine spreads sparkling jewels over the leaves and grass. The sky becomes a new painting every day, with clouds moving in blue at the will of the air. I am in awe of the optimistic spirit of plants and trees to take root, reach up toward the sun, and be nurtured by the rain. And we are the caretakers and recipients.

Traveling on the highway in upstate new york, we were confronted by a huge wall of dark clouds. They looked dangerous, looked like they were going to rumble over us as we ran into them! But the sky gradually transformed into a warm sun embraced by bluebell skies! Hope was in the air, and we kept moving on to celebrate!
I began this series by researching water and how its quality and availability are pivotal to our lives and our earth. My awareness of clouds developed organically, evolving from beauty and deepening to water droplets that bring rain, and shade to us as part of the earth's natural cycle of life. They were energetically reorganizing the architecture of the sky, like a living sculpture.

This work is from the "water series", exploring the importance of water in its transformations. Cloud imagery keeps popping up in both my prints and my paintings!
The Solarprint technique used in this print is eco friendly because it is exposed to the sun and developed using only water. It is printed by hand on 100% cotton paper.
