One of the best things about being an artist is being able to explore more deeply the things that delight me. Winterberries are one of those nature elements that light me up every time I see them. My son and I drive deep into the woods to find untouched clutches of winterberries. My friend Jan and I head right out our backdoors to forage for winterberries, pine cones, birch bark and fallen pine and fir branches to make winter decorations with. It is my hope that these winterberry paintings bring to life the joy and appreciation I feel for these bright red wonders of nature!
