ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Original abstract oil painting. Canvas size is 36" x 48" x 1.375." This is framed in a black wood floater and the finished size (with frame) is 37" x 49" x 2." This work was inspired by a powerful emotional experience - a new relationship that developed in March 2020. I connected with this person through mutual friends as we grew up in the same part of Northern California. I firmly believe when you first encounter someone, their spirit, character, demeanor, etc. can have a profound effect on you. Some people have powerful aura’s - the ones that can light up a room, bring an immediate smile to your face, warm your heart, make your stomach flip, inspire. This painting is all about the powerful effect someone had on me, my heart. She exudes this beautiful radiance. I’m grateful as that often leads to the best work. Her effect on me was from afar, but I believe people can have a spiritual connection from a distance. How that connection grows, or doesn’t, comes to light through face to face interaction. Perhaps one day we will get to meet in person. She’s a beautiful person, inside and out. As I’ve learned in recovery, it’s an inside job. One’s external beauty is often a reflection of what’s inside. This painting vibrates, radiates with energy and beauty - from inside out. It captures my feelings and emotions, but in the end the painting is about her radiance.

My art is my truth - a thoughtful and authentic expression of myself and my journey, the outlet in which my innermost feelings come to light. An honest and vulnerable exposition of the darkness of addiction to the hope and freedom of recovery. Life altering experiences - trauma, addiction, recovery, self-discovery, finding purpose and meaning - serve as the focal points for my work. Vibrant colors are at the center, reflecting my gratitude for the fullness of life. Color use, movement, shapes and precision are foundational to my style. Bold, with an understated elegance, I seek to inform my work with the sensitivity, honesty and courage to share my story of overcoming. Painting awakens my spirit. Free and with an open heart, I’m able to communicate and connect in the purest fashion. I paint to share my journey, to bare my soul, to heal, to inspire. Self-taught contemporary artist from New York. In 2017, after 30 years, I picked up a paint brush for the first time since high school. It was a moment of clarity - a sense of purpose. The following year, after two decades in advertising, I made a life-changing decision and left the corporate world to pursue my art full time. Discovering my art was a long, arduous journey. Creatively oriented from a young age, my interest in art grew during my schooling years through painting, ceramics and design classes. However, doubt set in. An art-related career was vague and the expectations to be a successful “corporate citizen” were too great. I succumbed to the norm and went down the path of what was expected, what I was "supposed" to be. As my career in advertising unfolded, discontent grew. However, I had reached a point where the idea of change was too frightening. Concurrently, I found myself caught in the grips of addiction which took everything from me, nearly my life. Starting over in 2010, I entered recovery and have not turned back. As I immersed myself in the self-discovery process of recovery, my artistic interests rekindled. It took several more years to reach that “moment” in 2017. Once I embraced my creativity, a sense of joy emerged. It was the change my spirit needed, the catalyst for my true path. Instagram:
