Welcome to Maple Brook Studio

In the Spring of 2024, preparing for the June Art & Garden Tour, I reinvented myself in my artwork yet again. Painting birches on textured papers sang to me, picking up where I left off in 2014 using the same textured paper I had used when I began this series in 2008. I believe that when one door closes, another opens. That paper wasn’t available, so I discovered three alternative papers, each with different textures. My birch series has changed dramatically with the addition of these papers.

I opened Maple Brook Studio to the public in 1991 when my primary medium was Chinese brush painting, though I continued creating pen & ink drawings and oil paintings. Over the years my work has included stone sculpture, metal sculpture, colored pencil, oils, acrylics, pyrography (wood burning), gourd sculptures and mixed media. 

Below: my front-yard labyrinth, my backyard sanctuary garden – both featured during the Art & Garden Tour annually the second weekend of June. Also, two of my mixed media forest delights series.

I invite you to view my work in person: make an appointment to visit.
