Whatever it is, tell your story…I tell mine through art. We each have our own experiences that shape our story. That story is powerful, meaningful, and, importantly, worth sharing with the rest of us!

My art is a physical representation of my voice. I am a visual artist. My work is primarily contemporary abstract using acrylic paints on canvas. I have created tiny works of art to larger-scale paintings, each full of depth, dimension, and vibrancy. I have recently explored creating untraditional paintings, specifically utilizing unconventional canvas structures to add more dimension, depth, and movement.

My general approach to painting is “Mess Around and Find Out,” meaning I rarely start an abstract painting with an expectation of the outcome. Sometimes it works, and sometimes I end up with a mess, but I genuinely love the process. The creative process often follows a pattern of:
I'm inspired...this is going to be amazing
Yikes, this is tricky
This looks like shit!
Why did I think I could even do this?
Oh, this is interesting!?!?
This is amazing...It's a masterpiece.

The idea of movement without a specific purpose inspires me to be freer and more expressive in the creative process. My work typically expresses joy, calmness, and energy.
