About the Artist
My art practice is how I process my place in the world and pause to breathe. The emotions, the trauma, the beauty, and the joy; painting grounds me in the chaos.
My inspiration is most often drawn from my kids, my family and the beauty of the woods where we live. My current work consists of studies in the connection of emotion and physical movement using minimal marks and bright colors.
Growing up I always knew I wanted to be an artist. Art was always my escape when life was painful. When adulthood came, I let my dreams take a backseat to more “practical” occupations. Until. Becoming a mother set me free. I felt empowered and emboldened to lead my children in paths of joy and to show them that no path has to be absolute. Art found me again and it will be the legacy I leave behind.
“Every time I have had a problem, I have confronted it with the ax of art.”
