Art is healing… art stimulates receptors in the brain, creating new neurons while expanding the mind. The process for me is transformative; it is deeply restorative. My paintings reflect my view. They’re an interpretation of a moment or memory- powerful pieces that indulge edginess and emotion. Through brushstrokes and use of texture my work is meant not only to inspire but to soothe the mind and tell a story. What inspires you? What ties your work together? “These are questions people ask me often. I tell them that my artwork is inspired by the beauty I explore in nature every day. It is the energy I feel, translated on canvas for everyone to see. My work reflects my continued discovery & growth as an artist.” “Inspiration can manifest from a simple leaf, or a destination. My palette choices are bold & vibrant; I draw or sketch my ideas. The process must naturally flow and have movement on its own. My work is a series of layers- each with their own unique significance.
