I am an “accidental” abstract painter, largely self taught, and still (un)learning.
With messages of affirmation and reminders of resilience, my colorful and bold art tells my story of survived trauma, learned vulnerability, and untethered joy.
I have always been creative, but like so many others, artistic expression took a backseat to the business of life.
It wasn’t until my mid 30’s that I was drawn to paint out of necessity.
After a painful estrangement from my biological family, a long journey with infertility that led to the discovery of uterine cancer, and subsequent mental health struggles, I needed creativity more than ever.
I enjoy going inward and creating for hours alone in my studio (with the music blasting and the dancing in full effect), but my sweet spot is making art in community.
Now I travel the world offering workshops and retreats that allow others to find their own unbridled joy and freedom in paint.
