I am a self-thought artist who paints with acrylics on wood panels, aspen wood slices, and stretched canvas. My art is inspired by the northern forest, gardens, and wildflowers around me. A little bit about my story: I deeply love the natural world – it brings me a lot of peace and happiness as well as creative inspiration. I enjoy the solitude and opportunity it provides to slow down and notice little things like the curl of a leaf, the flip of a flower petal, the way a piece of birch bark peels, the playfulness of animals as they go about their business. These seemingly peripheral, incidental things catch my attention and stop me in my tracks, waiting to be acknowledged. In this always-busy-ever-changing world, I just feel compelled to capture and preserve these small quiet moments in time that nature offers and to celebrate these whimsical moments in my art.
SURPRISE! I have a newsletter! It’s occasional letters from the studio about the paintings I’m making, the nature that inspires them, and the stories behind the work, personally written in my entertaining writing style. Also, first access to new art. Here’s a link: https://twirlingtreeart.
