MY STORY

When I was a child I created fearlessly. I used color with confidence. My designs were made with bold lines, openness to possibilities, and a happy heart. While growing up I lost confidence, and at the urging of others, I put aside my childhood dream of becoming an artist and turned my focus toward a more "responsible" profession.

​

At the age of 35 my creative spark was reawakened. I recaptured my desire to be an artist and started painting again. I found myself drawn to bold, vibrant colors. These colors represented my choice to live courageously and to celebrate life by living with more passion, joy, and love. 

​

Over the past decade I began incorporating my creative impulse with my background in psychology. I noticed creating art was a meditative experience for me. It put me into a state of flow and shut off the often unhelpful chatter in mind. Art also became a therapeutic tool I could use to process feelings and express things I had trouble expressing verbally. Then I discovered I loved teaching others.
