Palm Harbor, FL - United States

My influences come from my daily life, beliefs and the interconnectedness we have with each other , nature, and the universe. Whether we are giving birth, feeling nostalgic, deeply moved by the political, or spiritual atmosphere of the day. I follow a natural flow when creating as paper and pastel lead me on my inner voyage of discovery. I received my B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago . I am a trained oil painter but after having my children I have developed my art in a variety of other mediums. My passion has lead me to Chalk pastels, watercolors, acrylic, and any other medium I come across that's contact oriented. I love to use my hands as the process gives me an immediate reaction; the colors are vibrant and convey emotions with each stroke. I get physically, emotionally and mentally involved as images start to appear. I look deeply at my mortality and how the process of creating comes to life in my paintings. In my recent work I have been using visualization and spiritual meditation for guidance to connect to. Many of my pieces are reflective of Native American spiritual symbolism. I am currently creating healing art workshops. I love feedback on my work and hope you all enjoy your visit to my site.
