Beyond the Surface Painting

My life long pursuit has been for a deeper understanding of truths in spiritual traditions and the common thread that unites humanity. After earning my MFA, I traveled internationally with intention, intrigued by the symbols and practices of many religions. During my travels I visited Buddhist and Hindu temples in Malaysia and Indonesia. In a rural village in Brazil, I had a powerful shift in consciousness that inspired my series “From Within”. Always returning to contemporary life between these significant journeys has allowed me to express work that is about the “whole” experience vs only focusing on one or the other as my approach embraces various spiritual and cultural experiences through a visual language rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area.
