I’m a self-taught artist inspired by the redemption experienced in my life as well as those I engaged with in my career serving those affected by homelessness, mental illness, and partner abuse. I work primarily in acrylic but love adding other elements of oil pastel and paper.

I’ve come to describe my process as “adding and taking away” color, shape, and texture. Much like life, the work of slowly and with fluidity in the application, the essence of creativity, and each painting develop without striving.
