Bio

Her paintings are mostly abstract, created through intuitive creative play which is evident in
the multiple layers and textures in her paintings. She paints for the purpose of painting and
the joy it brings. This form of pure and intuitive expression has transformed her life.

Artist Statement
When I paint, I intuitively make marks and choose colors. I keep turning the canvas and respond to parts of the painting that interest me and call my attention. In this way I keep interacting with the painting, until it feels complete and finished. It’s an organic process.
Exploring and experimenting are at the heart of my artistic practice. It keeps my painting practice fresh and exciting. That is how I grow and learn.
I experiment with all kinds of painting media, from acrylic, water color, ink and oil to environmentally friendly paints like casein paint and making my own natural dyes from
plants and flowers.
I play around with lots of different techniques to create appealing marks, rhythm and patterns. I use a variety of materials to create texture- from plaster to tissue paper, fabric self-made paper from recycled math worksheets my kids bring home from school.
I hope my paintings will pull people out of their head, and into a space of feeling and imagination. Even if just for a moment…people might take notice of how the painting makes them feel and what they see.
Please wait, it may take sometime ...
