Painting allows me to express my innermost feelings, to be at peace, fearless. Above all, I can be myself. My work is me.

My art is my truth – a deeply thoughtful, vulnerable and honest expression of who I am. It tells my story – one of pain and darkness to hope and freedom. Meaningful life experiences, consequences of addiction, finding a new way of life, discovering my purpose – all serve as influencers for my work.

Bold, vibrant colors are at the center, reflecting my passion for the fullness of life. The exploration of color provides a diverse means of communication. How colors blend, complement one another and how they work in different shapes and movements allow me to capture feelings, meaning and to leave a lasting impression. Precise line work and bold marks also serve as critical elements to my vision of communicating a story of hope and courage.

Painting awakens my spirit. Free and with an open heart, I’m able to communicate and connect in the most pure and genuine fashion. I paint to share my journey, to bear my soul, to heal and to inspire.
