Artist Statement

My art is my life and I live it each day. My work is my visual voice that empowers me to speak my truth, search for answers and explore new pathways in life. I surrender my spirit and am an open channel for healing by means of meditation, the Japanese healing art of reiki and the chakras. These methodologies help me to maintain daily balance by supporting the chi and subsequently it is my present state of being that is revealed in my art. My work explores spirituality, the traditions of ethnicities and expectations of gender. It is my longing and desire to engage with the creative process with gifts of the intuitive mind, leaving traces of life experiences and passions to share and educate through my art.
