Artist Statement
​
Much of my work is a reflection of my attempts to truly belong in my own space, and more importantly within myself. It is a representation of my personal journey. A prioritizing of reconnection, of rediscovery and of acceptance.
On the canvas, I find ways to push boundaries and explore new lands. I love the parallels between this, my movements geographically, and my personal search to connect internally, and to belong.
The meditative intuitive process that I have developed, adds intensity, depth and a tangible energy to my work. The unpredictability of fluid mediums, juxtaposed with an ordered thought process and the controlled brushstroke, make for a fascinating creative process.
​
As I paint, the image I am creating changes from a state of order to disorder and back again. I give up and regain control. Sometimes a dance, often a battle, but one I totally immerse myself in.

We have little to lose from being authentic and much to gain. Creative expression is a valuable tool with which to explore and release emotions. Through my presentations and workshops I am able to share these invaluable therapeutic experiences of learning, personal exploration and growth with so many others.
​
Within and without the canvas it is important for me to strive to find the perfect balance between movement and fluidity, balance and stillness. By achieving this I ground myself and find my own space here.
