About the Artist

     I identify my painting style as Adventurism Art, immersing myself in a creative adventure and trusting that inspiration will cause a unique and true artistic expression. Working in oil, pastel, and watercolor, my brushstrokes capture movement and varied colors that mutate into dimensional shapes, and often made during the adventure itself.  Some of these expeditions have included camping journeys to ice caves, paddling the two longest rivers in America (the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers) solo by kayak, fjords of Norway, and spiritual quests into the rivers, woodlands and bluffs. One Woman's River A Source-to-Sea Paddle on the Mighty Mississippi (2014) is my book, showcasing my art and describing my journey from Source-to-Sea on the Mississippi River in 2014.

I enjoy sharing my artistic journeys by speaking at public events, artist in residences, libraries, book clubs, and art events. My art studio/gallery near Trempealeau, Wisconsin is covered with art produced from creative trips and expeditions into the wilderness.
