I had a wonderful supportive neighbor and an aunt that encouraged me every step of the way. Even at this early age, I had a fascination with windows and doors that still drive me to this day. These architectural forms were the keys to unlocking my artistic imagination. I'd find myself making up stories about the people and families that lived behind these structures and then capturing the emotions that their stories inspired through the use of vivid color. Over the years, my life experiences have only reinforced and enriched this approach to creating emotive abstract art that formed the core of my creativity as a young girl. Today I love creating works based on memories and experiences that I just can't seem to forgot. These memories and experiences are often deeply rooted in place and architecture. For example, my memories of my first co-op job in New York City were a pivotal turning point for me in terms of how I viewed architecture and translated this my art. Surrounded by some of the most iconic building in the world in a city of millions, windows and doors took on a whole new dimension for me after that (no pun intended). It also still influences much of my work today. My trip to Italy was another of those pivotal moments that elevated my unique approach to artistic expression, infusing it with a deep sense of history and connection. It should come as no surprise, surrounded as I was by those architectural marvels from our distant past. Experiencing those treasures helped me gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the power of architectural form. Its ability to evoke visceral emotions through a kind of visual narrative that continues to bind us across countless generations. Over the years I've challenged myself to grow artistically by combining vivid color with a variety of layering techniques to add texture and dimensionality to my works. The use of layering began with I started mastering watercolor. But it still infuses my technique today as I've stretched to master other mediums like acrylic, encaustics, and oils. Composition has also become an important component of my visual narrative toolkit. Creating compelling compositions viewed from a distance that irresistibly draw the viewer in deeper to the story that's unfolding is pure joy to me. Today you'll find me exploring the use of light and reflections in the night skies to develop further layers to the stories that I tell. Perhaps it's this ever-changing evolution of artistic expression, the never-ending chain of narrative that binds us all, and the emotive impact this all stirs in others that fills my heart with joy when I'm at the easel. I considered myself blessed and grateful to share this joy with you and others. I hope you enjoyed my story. While you're here, I have a few suggestions for you for what to explore next:
