My work is inspired by nature’s power, beauty, and my connection to it. It draws me in and makes me feel energized, connected and at peace, like being home. Nature is always there with me and for me, never failing me.

Painting sets my soul on fire. When I was asked “what does your art mean to you,” the first word that popped in my head was survival. Painting provides the vehicle for self-discovery, therapy, storytelling, giving back, exploration, empowerment, and evolving into a better human. I mainly paint in abstraction with acrylics or mixed media. This provides me the freedom of non-conformity to expectations. It delivers a platform to paint my interpretation of nature’s message to humankind in a way that is authentic to me.

Ultimately, creating art allows me a way to give back to the world more than I take from it.
