I’m a mixed media artist, gardener, and a bird watcher.

I do art every day! I work full-time & commute an hour a day and yet I still find a few moments to “get my art on”.

 

What’s my secret? Why do I do it even when I’m so busy?

 

Being creative fills me with so much happiness, it is essential to my well-being.

 

When I make art, time stands still giving in to a calm soothing feeling.

Like a child, I get to play without rules which makes me feel good & it increases my self-esteem. I am a fearless lioness!

 

I work primarily with acrylic paints and inks, collage, watercolor, wax crayons, charcoal, & graphite. My inspiration is found in plants, animals, rustic buildings and anything outdoorsy. I began painting as a means of dealing with anxiety, which then launched me into a journey of self-discovery. My artistic journey has moved from perfectionism to a looser, more fun style of art.
