Artist Statement
As an established artist working primarily in mixed media, my practice is deeply rooted in telling stories of resilience and humanism blended with spiritual concepts. Influenced by journaling, meditation, nature walks, taking photos, and music, I have developed a distinctive soulful approach that sets my work apart in the contemporary art landscape.

In the sacred space between creating art and telling personal stories, I discover the profound truth of my artistic journey. Like a prayer to connect with the audience and create a healing ripple, each piece resonates with the spiritual echoes of my creative process. I also like to infuse a little humor.

The intersection of mixed media and telling stories of human experience remains central to my practice, advancing my mission to teach classes helping others tap into their own creative expression.

Every day I discover something new about working as an art educator and understanding creating art and healing for others. I now teach Intentional Creativity. Thanks to trauma informed practice, my classes include journaling, meditation, nature walks, taking photos, yoga, aromatherapy, and music to connect to the art making process. This allows the creative channel to open and create healing energy, teaching others in ways I never imagined before. Authenticity is my jam, and I am saving you a seat.
