Statement
Art has always been an integral part of my life since I was a child. It was my escape and “happy place” when I didn’t understand or was stressed by the world around me. The creative process calms my soul and connects me with spiritual side of life. Creating is the way I share my life with others and it is through this lens that people begin to understand who I am. On the outside I am a no nonsense type of person, on the inside I am sensitive, deeply compassionate, and caring.My art training has come from practice, persistence, studying under well established artists, art books and videos. Learning is the cornerstone of my artistic journey. We all have gifts to share with each other, mine is creativity. I hope to inspire you to find your path that brings joy to your soul and that you too will share it with others.
