"As a child, creativity was instinctual, an extension of who I was. It was joyful, fun, and a way to process and connect my inner and outer worlds. Then, as a teenager, art somewhat devolved into a material goal; there were skills to learn, judgements to be made, futures discussed. The joy began to seep out. I put a hold on that part of my life until my later twenties, at which time my visual art process came back to me as a way out of some dark times. It became part of my inner healing, a way to reconnect with my more authentic self. Now art and creativity are a multifaceted experience for me: a mix of childlike joy and a way to make sense of a complex world. My work ranges from a free and expressive style to a more observant realistic approach. I have found fulfillment through both personal creativity and also by bringing creative opportunities to others, helping others discover themselves through art. Art has become a sacred pathway and a transformative journey for me."
