I am a social worker and an artist. As a social worker, I have appreciated the uniqueness of every individual I have worked with. I appreciate and accept differences in people, and find beauty in that, accepting that every individual is unique and beautiful in their own way.
I began working as an abstract artist, understanding that each of my pieces is unique, surprising and beautiful in it's own way. I often have an expectation of how the painting will be, only to find that it reveals itself to me, often leading me to a very different place. I find this exciting and satisfying, and I accept the path my art takes me. In this acceptance I find a connection between my social work practice and my art.
Description
I am a medical social worker, working with older adults in Assisted Living Communities, and I am an abstract artist. As a social worker, I have always appreciated the uniqueness of every individual I have worked with. I appreciate and accept differences in all people, finding beauty in those differences, and accepting that every individual is unique and beautiful in their own way. I began working as an abstract artist in my 40’s, understanding that each of my pieces is unique, surprising, and beautiful in its own way. I often have an expectation of how the painting will be, only to find that it reveals itself to me, often leading me to a very different place. I find this exciting and satisfying, and I accept the path my art takes me. In this acceptance I find a connection between my social work practice and my art.
