I am a self-taught abstract painter and mixed media artist. I paint mainly abstract acrylics on canvas and paper as well mixed media collages. I have a passion for painting and creating art that drives me. Painting is a form of expression and communication that gives me an outlet for my inner world. When I paint, I enter a meditative flow in which time becomes fluid, and all that exists in that moment is the painting.

My paintings are typically spontaneous and link me to my inner world and to the field of consciousness to which we all belong. From my viewpoint, painting and creating is a way to explore and express feelings and ideas both from inner world and from the field around us. There are emotions and concepts which are just below the level of awareness cannot easily grasped or accessed through verbal language, but painting provides a way to develop and share these unspoken messages.

I believe that art provides a therapeutic and spiritual value both to the artist and the observer who interacts with it.

As self-taught artist, my art education comes through a variety of sources which include classes, workshops, process videos, and learning from viewing and analysing the paintings and artworks of others artists.

While many artists focus on a specific style, I am drawn equally to both abstract painting and mixed media collages. My life as an artist is an ongoing journey which brings me closer to developing my own unique vision as an artist.

I have exhibited paintings at several art galleries in Toronto. I recently exhibited a painting at the Leslie Grove Art Gallery in the Fall of 2025. It was a juried art show in September of 2025. Prior to this, I exhibited paintings with a group of local artists at the Women's Art Association of Canada in the Dingham Gallery in December of 2024, and at a local gallery exhibition with the same group of artists at the Papermill Gallery in June of 2025.

For collectors who are Canadian and would rather pay a similar price for my artwork in Canadian dollars., my work is now available at the L'Original online art gallery. The L'Original gallery has two physical art gallery locations in Montreal as well as the online gallery site on which my art is displayed.

While I have not fully uploaded my work to the L'Original gallery site, I am in the process of working on this. You can always message me a piece that you might like and I can upload it there within a day.
