About the Artist

Art is like a gentle meditation for the soul. In its infinite forms, art has always intrigued me, pulling me in. Attending the theatre, collecting stones at the beach, or hiking in a forest are all influences. Sitting on the top of a mountain, breathing the fresh air, amazed at the wonder of it all, are breath-giving and inspiring.

I am a self-taught artist, and exploring different artistic concepts excites me. A life-long learner, I don’t ascribe to a particular style and continually seek out new ideas. I can then practice the new techniques and incorporate them into my own designs. Seeing the end result can be magical.

Finding the time to focus more on my creativity has come later in life. It is now a priority, bringing me peace, joy and a sense of fulfillment. I remember that little child in myself who loved to color, even outside the lines … that creative spirit is innately inside all of us … we have just covered it up with life.
