      About


      contemporary abstract art for the contemporary intentional life

      About image
      As a contemporary abstract eco-artist, I paint from the heart, relying on intuition to create mood, energy and complexity that invite intimate interpretation.

      As a young person, I enjoyed painting but didn’t appreciate the full scope of its value to my life. Then during college, I decided to take a path different from art and initiated a writing career. That decision served me well until notions of painting began stealing back into my quiet, reflective moments.

      In late 2017, as eagerly as a whispered secret, thoughts of art making urged me to enroll in an acrylic painting class. That experience reminded me how much I love this form of self-expression. Being a writer is a respectable life choice, but I find painting more surprising, liberating and authentic. I now have a deeper appreciation for the work, process and results – and most importantly, how they inform my personal life – how I frame interpersonal relationships and see nature.

      The two primary energizers for my creative expression are emotional reactions to life events, and the fascinating, intricate abstract design found in nature. Both life events and nature require focus, respect and passionate expression.

      Linking life events (i.e., climate change) and the beauty of nature, I am compelled to use only natural materials in my artwork and offer a special earth-friendly pricing option to my clients.

      Reconnecting with art making after a protracted separation, I recognize myself now not as an artist whose visual expression has lain fallow for years, rather as one who has much more to say without using a word.

      A Viable Environmental Solution

      A Viable Environmental Solution

      As an artist who loves our beautiful planet, I have felt limited on how to ensure a positive and significant difference in her well being.

      K.T. vs. Bastrop County Sheriff's Department

      Throughout history artists have used their artwork to depict their truth about religion, love, war, politics, and social injustice. I’ve even produced a few paintings myself inspired by the dark side of American politics and love, or . . . well, the loss of romantic love.

      Casein: The Ancient New Paint

      Casein: The Ancient New Paint

      Casein (kay seen) commonly referred to as milk paint has a history as long as humankind. It is an ancient milk-based opaque paint that has been used by residents of prehistoric caves, Renaissance Old Masters, amazing contemporary artists like Nagel Klein, and so many others in between.

      Revitalize Your Babies

      Revitalize Your Babies

      If you’ve ever had a writing coach, most likely you’ve heard the phrase kill your babies. This directive, as you’ll remember, means to edit out all phrases, sentences, lines of dialogue, character descriptions and/or chapters – ouch! – that do not – cannot to any extent – support your premise. Regardless of how brilliantly you wove the syntax or how deeply the sentiment moves your heart, the misfit must go!

      Purr Me to Sleep

      Purr Me to Sleep

      Could! Not! Sleep!!! My mind darted from a looming project deadline, to strategizing new painting techniques, to mowing the backyard, to processing my most recent failed romance, to pulling garden weeds and back again! Recurring . . . a ferocious, chaotic cycle! The clock ticking toward 2:00 a.m. “I have got to get up early in the morning! Please help me sleep!” I wailed to the universe.

      My True Path

      My True Path

      Way back when I was in high school as a mere seventeen-year-old, I hung a painting in my first art show. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my first painting ever, but it was certainly among the first I was not ashamed to show in public.

      A Mark with Meaning

      A Mark with Meaning

      In a previous iteration of my artistic self, I was often referred to by friends and colleagues as Word Nazi. I love words. I love everything about them – the sound, the geography, the meaning(s), the word parts, and parts of speech.

      Surprise in the Darkness

      Surprise in the Darkness

      You know how an unexpected event in your normal, productive life can simply cut you off at the knees? And the months that follow that event are no longer normal or productive? And you slip from being even-tempered, easy-going, and smooth-sailing into a depressed, weepy blob of an anxious mess?

      Five Swallows Studio

      Just outside the entrance to my studio are two barn-swallow nests. Some people consider the prolific birds a nuisance. I do not. I anticipate the annual arrival of mom and pop barn swallow. It makes me happy to see them jet in to check out the accommodations.

      Morning Pages . . . again

      Well, here I go again with morning pages. This time, though, a couple of friends are navigating Julia Cameron’s The Artist Way with me. I’m eager to see how this creativity exercise relates to visual arts.

      Pallet Knives and Trowels

      When I started painting again, I made two pledges to myself. One: I would avoid using brushes unless absolutely necessary; and Two: I would never ever, ever, ever, ever, never ever leave raw canvas in a finished painting.

      You Can’t Believe Everything You Hear

      You Can’t Believe Everything You Hear

      I had not painted in over 20 years when the desire to return to the canvas began warting me with fleeting notions in late spring of 2016. By the time I had enrolled in a class, the initial flirty thoughts had re-imagined themselves into a battering ram, pounding Get in a class – do it now!
