Summer’s Delight size: 14" poplar materials: acrylic and colored pencil on wood Statement: I am excited to be invited to participate in the 2026 ArtFeeds: Artists In Action Against Food Insecurity. My work takes inspiration from the natural world and its cycles. For ArtFeeds, I am drawing inspiration from nature’s summer beauty and bounty: flowers and fruits that fill gardens and fields. In looking to nature, I hope to channel an abundance mindset, that the rhythms of the land provide balance toward a good life.
