This painting started as an abstract painting and I read a story about a family in Kyiv that struck me so deeply that I changed directions. It was a story of love and patriotism. He was going to fight and she and her daughter were trying to cross the border into Poland for safety. Their love for each other and their country was palpable. I think you can feel it in this painting. This painting is no longer for sale as it has been chosen for an upcoming event to raise money for meals to feed 1 billion people. More information forthcoming.

I am a self-taught abstract expressionist painter. This is a fancy way of saying that I use paint to express the inexpressible. I am a California native who has owned and operated family-owned Italian restaurants in Venice Beach since 1992. An Ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2008 was the catalyst to my artistic journey. I used this difficult time between surgeries and chemotherapy treatments for introspection and growth. I would create colorful imagery with affirmative words digitally to visualize my healing from the inside out. I called these pieces I created “AffirmSHEart”. In 2013 I picked up a paintbrush and never looked back. Painting helped me to express feelings I could not find the words for. In 2018 I started participating in art shows and have been grateful for the positive response I have received. Sharing my artwork was not easy for me. I felt naked and vulnerable as though I was sharing a deep dark secret. I decided that perfection is a concept that has no place in my world. I embraced my childlike curiosity while parking my art critic at the curb. I seldom know ahead of time where a painting might take me, it is a meditative, intuitive process and many are happy accidents. I turn up the music, pick up my brush, sing and dance and let it rip. I peel away the layers inside myself as I place the layers onto my canvas. I work with acrylic paint, mixed media and all sorts of mark-making tools on gallery-wrapped canvas. You might see words peeking through from my earlier layers as I find my way one stroke at a time. I literally “work it out in the paint.” I hope that my paintings inspire others to look within and to open their mind and heart and feel something.
