About Me

I remember taking art classes in my early teenage years, but truly clinging to sketching during some of the more difficult times in my life. The pencil gave me an outlet. A place to unload my deepest stresses, or voice what I could not say in words. To feel more in control. It was friend that understood me when I felt that no one else could. Since then, through the highs and lows of life’s lessons, the pencil and the paintbrush have been there to allow me to express myself in ways that are so fulfilling. It has allowed me to connect to myself, to others, and feel connected to God. We are not left alone here. Turning to the Lord Jesus, saves our souls. He offers the gift of new life.

I am a self-taught, acrylic painter who is inspired by my own personal experiences and the lessons I learn through them. I also incorporate many aspects of nature, which have always been a comfort to me and a reminder of the delicacy, yet pure resilience, of living things. To combine the abstract with realism, is my greatest goal as a painter. There is a relationship between the physical and the spiritual, which impacts us all, whether we know it or not. I hope that others can discover the peace, joy, and strength that comes from the simple things in life.

Pursing art has taught me that our hearts speak in another language. So, give it a voice. It has been a place of healing all my life, empowerment, connection and expression. I hope that others are inspired to throw some paint on a canvas! Let your heart speak.

“All these put their trust in their hands; and each becomes wise in his own work. Without these a city will not be inhabited, and men will not sojourn nor walk up and down… But they will maintain the fabric of the world; And in the handiwork of their craft is their prayer”

(Sirach 38: 31—34).
