Original contemporary abstract oil painting. Framed in a black, natural wood floater frame. This piece was inspired by someone new coming into my life in March 2020. A connection was made and the relationship developed. She is a beautiful woman and as I got to know her, her true beauty was on the inside. A kind, caring and thoughtful spirit. I was touched by her kindness in so many ways - words, gestures, questions, how she treated others and me. On one evening, as I reflected, it struck me that her true beauty stems from her kind and loving heart. It was this realization that led to the inspiration to create this piece. Being kind goes a long way and it shows character, especially when you see one's kindness extended to everyone they encounter. The inspiration was a bolt of lightning. Color choice was obvious as all the different hues of blue evoke beauty, calm, elegance - a soft, welcoming feeling. I’m incredibly grateful for the inspiration she brought to my life. It moved me. It reminded me that on this journey, we never know who or when someone will come into your life. ACTUAL SIZE WITH FRAME: 41"(w) x 31"(h) x 2(d)"

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.
