I have always loved art, music, and nature; a place of calm, which fueled my creativity. However, it was only when I began to spend time with my mother as she battled end-stage cancer, that my interest turned into a veritable practice. Being an artist most of her life, she was and still is a major influence on my work. Painting became a way to feel close to her and help me cope with the difficult reality ahead.
I love to paint abstract and landscape impressionist pieces, sourcing inspiration from my feelings, life experiences, and beautiful natural scenery. Working primarily with acrylics, I create dimension and movement, using a combination of brushes, palette knives as well as silicone blades and wedges. My process is intuitive, as I let myself be guided by my emotions, without any preconceived ideas; choosing my palette and composition as I move along. I pour passion and purpose into every single painting, which reflects who I really am: whimsical, fun, free-spirited, yet also serious and focused. Through my art and my story, it is important to me that I bring hope, light, or inspiration to those whose paths I cross.
