From the vivid landscapes of Hawaii to the intricate beauty of flowers, my art is an intimate expression of my personal journey. As an artist, I find inspiration in the contrasting vistas of Hawaii's beauty and the experiences that have left deep imprints on my consciousness.

The allure of flowers, with their flowing lines and intimate relationships between petals, reflects the rhythm of life itself. Each stroke in my art is a loving tribute to the home my husband and I built, where roses we planted bloom, a testament to our shared journey.

Together with my husband of 20+ years and my daughter, we foster a hopeful vision of the future, which is represented in every bloom and ray of light that graces the canvas.

My love for mythology began early, and exploring Greek myths and Joseph Campbell's insights has deepened my artistic journey. I weave complex narratives that go beyond the constraints of time and place, using figurative and symbolic elements alongside abstraction and color to create a unique visual language.

In the end, my work is a story—my story. It is a story of life, love, and the enduring beauty that persists through it all. A story of hope for a brighter future, a future that I eagerly look forward to with my loving family by my side. I invite you to experience it, to engage with it, and to find a part of your own story reflected within.

I’ve been an artist since 2002 and am self taught.

Why do I create?

The compelling need to create art runs deep in my veins, a force as primal and necessary as breath itself. This desire stems not only from the physical joy of guiding the brush or the satisfying scratch of graphite on canvas but also from a deeper, intrinsic need to make sense of the world around me and the thoughts within me.

Each stroke and line is an externalization of my memories and ideas, transforming them from abstract notions into tangible reality. It's a release, a cathartic process of letting out what often festers within the confines of my mind. The act of creation serves as a conduit for emotions, a channel that transforms the internal turmoil into visual stories that resonate on the canvas.

Through my art, I sift through the vast landscape of my psyche, unearthing feelings and experiences that demand expression. As each thought leaves my mind and takes form on the canvas, it loses its power to wound, transforming instead into a source of beauty and intrigue.

Thus, for me, the act of creating art is both a necessity and a salvation. It's a dance between the artist and the artwork, where I lead with my thoughts and memories, and the canvas follows, echoing my emotions. The result is not just a piece of art, but a piece of my soul, immortalized. In essence, I create not merely because I want to, but because I must—it's an intrinsic part of my existence, as vital and compelling as the air I breathe.
