If I were to name what I do in a short sentence, it would read something like: “this artist offers us glimpses from the ‘Belly of one’s Soul.’”

My paintings are not intended to be “easy” or pleasant. I begin with intuition and a determination to find a rhythm within the painting that resonates with my own life experiences. Arising from my imagination -- in the realm of serendipity, spontaneity and accident -- an indirect narrative often presents itself in themes such as personal empowerment; tumultuous family relationships; marital challenges; awakening feminine consciousness; and epiphanies.

As an artist, my greatest joy comes from viewers’ responses. It is in the sharing of the work, and the hoped-for connection with another soul, that my quest in painting completes itself.
