ARTIST STATEMENT

I paint in acrylics using vibrant colors, symbols and layers to create

art that speaks to your heart. The first layer is always written affirmations of healing, hope, courage, and connections. I paint for healing, joy and health and for all survivors who are learning to thrive.

I love to explore different methods & subject matter,

conveying an impression rather than a realistic image.

I believe that art - creating - is a universal human  need and a longing of the soul. Painting, without judgment, allows us to invite the healing power

of present-moment awareness into our daily lives.

The more we can play with color and the

range of tools available for the canvas and the canvas
that is our life, the more we feel free to choose joy and compassion in daily living.
As we paint heart-to-heart and break down the barriers of what art is supposed to
be, both artist and viewer experience an increase in vibrational energy and

an uplifting of spirit. Painting becomes healing medicine for all involved.
