Statement
“Seeing is one of the most difficult yet gratifying experiences; everything becomes clear when we can see truly. Connecting this clarity with the creative act is when my best work happens.”
My art practice helps me to connect the dots, deepen my understanding and create more empathy with my surroundings. I am drawn to the mystical and the transpersonal as it inspires me to look inside and beyond myself. My work’s themes are sacred geometry, bliss, gratitude, connection, peace, introspection, energy, light, and dissolution.
I believe Art can change us, so; I approach my work as a tool for personal transformation. Using the power of myths and archetypes, symbols manifest from the collective and help us integrate ourselves.
I love teaching workshops on using Art as a tool for transformation.
