Artist Statement

My relationship with art began in college. To fulfil a remaining graduation requirement, I causally chose an art class: metalsmithing. Unexpectedly, the experience had a profound impact on me.

I fell in love with the power of the art-making process; what it allowed me to express, and the effect it had on my mind; who it allowed me to be and become.

From there, I was gifted a manual camera. Again, something new was created within me. I fell in love with photography, the capturing and developing of images; Seeing beauty in everything. 

Then one day I picked up a paint set at a local Dutch market in Holland. I began to play with the inviting world of colours, and have never stopped.

Each piece of art I create, creates a part of me. I am grateful for the gift of art. I am inspired by the world around me, by my daughter, and by the beautiful people I meet. I share my gifts with others as an art teacher and creative coach with The Art of Wellness.

Art is a non-verbal conversation, shared by the viewer and creator. What a precious gift it is to communicate without noise or hurry or words. Sublime still movements are born within us, from art itself.

I hope you enjoy these pieces. I invite you to connect with me via email, if you have any questions about me, my process, or my work.

Much love,
