Welcome to my art studio, and thank you for visiting. I’m a lifelong artist and an ordinary human who has weathered life’s extremes. I’ve walked through love and divorce, stability and joblessness, home and homelessness, health and cancer, and, most devastatingly, the loss of my daughter. That heartbreak shattered me, leaving me feeling utterly lost and broken. My art, once a refuge, fell silent. In a self-imposed exile, I began scribbling my darkest thoughts on brown paper. Slowly, my creativity stirred, and within a year, I found solace in drawing mythic faces on smooth gray beach stones. These “stone people” became my quiet companions, asking nothing of me in return. They marked the beginning of my healing journey. Through reconnecting with my creative soul, I found a way to move forward. The paintings and photography I share here are an invitation to reflect on your own inner and outer worlds. They offer glimpses into this reality and dreamscapes beyond. While digital mediums allow me to express my inner emotions vividly, there’s something profound about working with acrylics, mixed media, and photography to capture the beauty just outside our doors. Thank you for joining me on this creative journey. These days, you’ll likely find me walking in nature, soaking in its quiet inspiration and drawing strength from its unexpected moments of reflective beauty.
