Distraction Painting

Art is my life therapy. Everyone has a story. Everyone has life experiences; this changes our lives for the best or the not-so-good. I believe that all negative experiences are just lessons we need to pay attention to. It’s how we react to those negative experiences is whether we learned from it, or repeat it for the lesson later. I have put my good - and not so good - experiences into my paintings. I wanted to document the beauty I find throughout my life. Many references are from photos I have taken along my journey, our family’s world travels, or just emotions etched on the canvas. I try to live by my life’s motto: Make your life a work of Art. Reflective, childhood-like, innocent, folklore, complex with depth – just some of the expressions that best illustrate her artistic style.
