Artist Statement

My mission is simple: to inspire joy in the world. Art is one of the ways I do this—both through my own creative practice and by creating welcoming, meaningful experiences where others can explore their own creativity. I am a painter, art instructor, and life coach, deeply inspired by the natural world.
Nature is my constant muse. I love being outdoors, observing the rich colors, organic shapes, and layered textures that surround us. Trees and flowers, in particular, hold a special place in my heart and find their way into nearly everything I create. My work often leans toward abstraction as I explore the beauty found in everyday moments, with the hope of encouraging others to slow down and notice the beauty around them each day.
Intuition is at the heart of both my artwork and my teaching. In my workshops, I weave intuitive principles throughout the creative process, inviting participants to connect with their own inner artist and discover art as an accessible, joyful form of self-expression. My goal is for each person to leave feeling more confident, inspired, and connected—to themselves and to the world.
I work across a range of media, including acrylic, oil, watercolor, and encaustic. No matter the medium, I am drawn to luminosity, vibrant color, and especially texture. Organic forms and the unpredictable nature of fluid materials continually inspire me. I paint intuitively, beginning with an intention and allowing each piece to unfold organically, embracing the surprises and textures that emerge along the way.
