Artist Statement

"In the interplay of thought and emotion, I find comfort in art. Each brushstroke whispers mysteries, and every curve reveals the soul's depths. As an educator and artist, I nurture creativity, inspiring eager minds. Art transcends expression; it anchors me, linking inner turmoil with outer clarity. Amid life's complex tapestry, I find purpose and voice in creativity. Art is my journey and gift to a world seeking inspiration, offering self-discovery and renewal. Holidays are for letting loose, and that goes for my mind too! It's like a giant playground where I can explore and imagine all sorts of things. No schedules, no plans, just pure, unadulterated fun. The pieces capture the magic of seeing the world from a tiny tot's perspective. Everything becomes an adventure, from the dancing dust to the strum of a guitar, and a record player becomes a portal to fantastical adventures with shimmering rainbows splattering around. It's a peek into a world brimming with curiosity and wonder, where anything and everything is possible!"
