I love nature. Nature has changed my life and guides my art. I try to make nature study a daily part of my life.

The Secret Path painting reveals a touch of magic that is always present in nature. All that is needed for healing and a healthy life is available in our home forests. Medicines are all around us and connect us to our ancestors.

The right trail will not only guide you home but will feed your spirit.

Trees were profoundly sacred to the Hän people. They were tied in with our ceremonies, birthing rites, healing medicines and burial practices.

I love to walk up to poplars on a sunny south facing hillside, place my hands on them and rub off their powdery medicines onto my skin. I feel rejuvenated and protected.
