Depth Over Distance Painting

I'm inspired by travel, the sea, being out in nature and my dreams. My work is an exploration of soul memories, healing energy and self-discovery through the use of textures, mix materials, symbolic and gestural markings and color. My life has been steeped in creativity and art. Early on I was driven by the desire to create. I pursued my passions into college and studied Fine Art and Art History, but life took unexpected turns, and I wasn’t able to build the career as an artist that I anticipated. Creativity still remained central to my life. Whether it was in my work in fashion and merchandising or in the creation of my career in interior design, the one constant in my life has been to create art in one form or another. After 22 successful years building my interior design business, the call to return to my first love became so strong I could not ignore it. It started when I began receiving commissions from my clients for art pieces, and the joy I felt while creating them reminded me why I loved being an artist in the first place. I took the leap to pursue my artistic practice full time.
