I dabbled in various forms of art throughout my childhood and teenage years, including Paint on the family desktop computer, mosaics with ingredients from our pantry (i.e. dried beans, popcorn kernels, etc.), photography, and coloring with gel pens.

As a newlywed, I realized I needed to make space to find myself and discovered that creativity was key. My journey started with $0.50 acrylic paints from Walmart, then accelerated to sketching, watercolors, a touch of pastels, and finally settled on my current favorite: inks on silk.

I love to travel and am always trying to find ways to incorporate what I see into my art. When I am inspired by what I see, I take my time to photograph every view, analyze how I could capture the essence of what I see into a painting, and have started to bring rocks home from my travels to use in mosaics.
