Shares Her Love of Nature With the World

Welcome to A Painted Garden- a space where art, nature, and emotion bloom together.

I’m an expressive painter inspired by flowers, gardens, moonlight, and the quiet magic of the natural world. My work is rooted in feeling-the calm of a breeze, the warmth of the sun, the color of orange roses, and the sense of peace you find when you slow down and simply be.

My abstract floral paintings are loose, layered, and full of life-warmth, playful, and created to bring optimism into your everyday.

This is a creative journal of my art adventures-a place where I share my inspiration, process, and the beauty I find in everyday moments.

Simplify, slow down, be kind. And don’t forget to have art in your life – music, paintings, theater, dance, and sunsets. -Eric Carle
