I like to think that each of my paintings carries a part of me within it. I paint as a way of healing, of opening to the light, and of sharing the beauty I see in everyday moments and the people around us. Painting has become a transformative process- spiritually as much as artistically. While I often work in oils and watercolors, I love to experiment, and you may also find pastels or charcoal pieces woven into my journey.

We give great messages to you - and you see the beauty all around - in the flowers and hummingbirds and mountains and sunrises and sunsets. Paint these. Think of me and our love.
