Interview with Nicholas Wilton from Art2Life via YouTube below:
In her own words:
I grew up enjoying a special relationship with Nature, spending much of my childhood playing in streams, climbing trees, and communing with flowers & the fruits of the gardens; the beginning of a lifelong relationship with nature that I cherish & weave into my work today. As an adult, I've been blessed to travel the world, live in Paris, and a bit in Copenhagen & love the culture & richness of this beautiful planet we live on. My paintings are a celebration of the beauty of this world and a love letter to humanity to remember the gift of this life we've been given.
Each painting is infused with my love of adventure, travel, & Nature; its warmth of the sun, the depth of the sea, the luminosity of the moon, the wisdom of the forests, and the pure joy of flora.
Living in a vibrant city surrounded by ocean, mountains, and trees, I am inspired by my love for humanity, its evolution, and a deep passion for sustainability for our future generations.
My work can be seen in both public and private collections around the world, from San Francisco to London, Copenhagen, and Dubai. It is my heartfelt intention that they bring you quiet bliss, inviting you into moments of stillness & reprieve from the cacophony of modern-day life, wrapping you up in a world of serenity and grace connected to a bigger world within and around us.

A Love Letter to Humanity:
Midst the cacophony & demands of our modern day lives, May we remember that we were always meant to know a deep peace of inner world; to know the Magic embodied in The Natural World; for us to feel our most True Heart | soul | essence | presence in our times of quiet, in our times with Nature with the people we love. For us to know in these places and times that we are held, we are guided, we are cared for, we are always enough, and that we are loved. And in this profound, beautiful, mysterious universe we are All connected and that we are Love.
