The colors and moods of the Apostle Islands and Lake Superior are always inspiring. I strive to capture the natural beauty around me with pastels.

Painting with pastels offers elements of surprise, fun and experimentation to the artistic process. The tiny crystals in pastel add luminosity and depth to a variety of different paper surfaces. Starting a painting with an unusual underpainting allows colors to peek through, adding texture and dimensionality.
