Orenda is the supernatural life force that animates and binds all living things together; animals, rivers, people, the elements, trees and oceans alike. This piece shows the spirit of a Native American being among the breezes of the misty mountains in harmony with all of nature. The Raven (the creator) is shown along with The Coyote (the trickster) and The Owl (the wise one) in representation of Native legend. The cyclical process of life is shown through the phases of the moon. The original painting is highlighted with shimmer in various areas (such as the moons).

A dedicated, passionate oil painter, watercolorist and dreamer. I have been an artist for longer than I can remember and I am still learning new things everyday and gaining newfound understanding with each work of art.
My work is typically inspired by nature, the supernatural, other realms and magic, feminine energy, the moon, mythology, historical and world cultures and my own wild, vivid dreams that my brain cooks up each time I sleep! ;)
I was born among the ancient coastal redwood forests in a small town where rivers, wildlife and spiritual people run free. This love and bond with natural beauty is reflected in my imagination and artistic inclination.
I never run out of ideas, and I instead find myself running to keep up with them as they pour in by the dozens each day!
I am currently working on a dream series, a goddess series and one other mini series. I also take pet portrait commissions and a small amount of other commissions per year.
Stay tuned because there is always more to come.
I sincerely hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy making it.
