Paintings for feeling more
fully alive inside your own life.
For belonging more wholly and unapologetically to yourself.
The subject of my art changes,, but my curiosity does not.
A core part of my creative process is following what’s most alive for me. I utilize my creative practice to compost experiences, emotions and to explore aspects of myself and my life that are asking for more care and attention.
I fought against this for years, thinking I should stick to cultivating just one genre or style, but the truth is my art changes because I am always changing!
If you too fail to fit neatly into boxes and are always growing and changing, welcome! My art is a place for meeting yourself with more presence, care and compassion amid the flux of life.
I’m glad you found your way here!
You don’t need to be qualified
to invite art into your life.
You don’t need to know lots about the art world to know what kind of artwork makes you pause and FEEL.
Something that would help you to slow down a little more and savor your one wild & precious.
