Divine Art
Growing up on a farm in Iowa I’ve been inspired by common everyday objects, architecture, and landscape. Early on I was told I could not make a living as an artist so, I obtained my BA in Interior Design to work 3 dimensionally with my love of texture, color, and space. Later I earned a MA degree from the University of Iowa in sculpture.
Since my mother’s passing my passion has been to support natural wellbeing. I became a Classical Feng Shui Consultant and Quantum Biofeedback Specialist, while developing my spiritual intuitive capabilities. Yet in the spring of 2022 after a 25-year hiatus it became imperative that I unearth my artist creativity again.
I have a deep appreciation for the mysterious presence of our angels; however, I rarely see them portrayed in a relatable setting. To remind us of their constant presence, I portray them with a pet or a flock of birds with a wonderment in their eyes. My desire is that they remind us that their assistance is available to us at any time, we just need to ask.
