“Trusting my intuition and following my heart has always been the best way to create not only my art, but also my life.”
Artist Statement
I am a mixed media artist and enjoy using a variety of mediums in my art; acrylics, oil pastels, watercolor, alcohol and India inks, hand-painted papers & collage elements, photos, image transfers, and mark-making tools.
I love combining and contrasting fluid, free flowing layers of watercolor with hand-painted papers and collage elements to create intuitive and expressive nature inspired works. My imagination, emotion and life experience guide me in my process to paint memorable creations that reflect joy.
I strive to emulate the beauty, splendor and exquisiteness of our world and the sense of happiness it can bring us.
My desire is to visually tell stories with my art and create paintings that reflect the moments that touch my life. My hope is that my work encourages conversations and brings positive, creative energy into the world.
