We all need to place to Breathe, to Imagine, to Become. Art is that place for me. I love creating for the joy it brings. It is through the creative process that I found healing.

I wouldn’t have guess, that as a survivor of abuse, molestation and bullying that art would pull me from the depths of depression. It did! There is wholeness to combining colors and words to create something meaningful and beautiful.

I love painting in acrylics as it provides vibrant colors as well quick drying time. That’s important to me since my art has layers. Layers are like little stories. These stories may be seen or not, but they are as important to the painting as our stories are important to our lives. I incorporate mark making using sticks, pine needles, pinecones, shells, leaves, pencils, charcoal, graphite, art bars and many other fun things.

I imagine myself painting “Healing and Wholeness”. We all have a story to tell. That’s why the heart is so important to me. It represents Love through which there is healing and wholeness.

I have always loved writing and journaling. I have two published books, Heart In Pieces Made Whole and The Other Side of Whole. These books are poetic journeys from trauma to healing and forgiveness.

It’s all connected.

It is my desire to be a beacon of light who spreads healing and wholeness throughout the world.
