I got my first Brownie camera when I was a little girl, and it was the tool I learned to use to observe the world. By considering how I wanted to frame my subject, I learned to deepen my attention – both to the outer world as well as my internal reactions to that world.
Then in 2022 after my eldest brother died, I began working with pastel and painting birds. He was a major bird watcher, and painting birds became my way of healing the grief I felt. And, of course, when you’re out bird watching, you find yourself in nature – so landscape painting became a natural subject for me.
All photographs are available in various sizes, up to 22″X28″. All paintings are originals. All work is available through my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/NurturingArtsStudio. If you have any questions, contact me for details: eastwesthealingspace@gmail.com
