Projects: I am currently writing middle grade and young adult fantasy novels and working on a series of Faerie Botanica books.
Location: Ashfield, MA"Ursula's Hope", Oil on board, 18 x 14 inches. Ursula is the Latin name for a little "she-bear. In this painting a young girl with wild hair holds a bear cub, both looking lost and vulnerable before a storm, but the bear cub looks up at her hopefully. It is the children of the world who will inherit all the human damage to wild habitats, the climate crisis and the extinction of many species. There are many fairy tales of humans shape-shifting into bears, and in this piece I see them as sisters trying to navigate the world together.
