Artist Statement

I invite you to immerse yourself in the color, texture, and imagery of my art. In art, there are no rules…. How liberating! My work is a celebration of play, wonder, curiosity, experimentation, and discovery. Each piece is a testament to playful experimentation and the mystery of creativity.

My journey in art began in childhood ….Later in life, I began abstract painting thinking of creating art that would complement real estate interiors and align with my career as a real estate stager. Creating art for interior spaces fueled my inspiration to make more art, and soon I felt a compelling urge to return to the studio purely for the joy of it. My art is always created with the intention of being displayed in living spaces, ensuring that it harmonizes with and enhances its surroundings. To my surprise, this approach has not only fueled my creativity but also deepened my appreciation for the connection between art and interior design.

Inspired by my California roots, love of design, nature, and the written word, my creations reflect my journey through various creative processes. From acrylic paint and gel crayons to the layers and textures of recycled materials, each element is chosen to evoke a sense of wonder and connection.

I hope, when viewing my work, that you find yourself immersed in a world of abstract collages and bricolage. My goal is to create a space where viewers can pause, reflect, and engage with the art on a personal level. Whether it is a fleeting moment of joy or a deeper contemplation, I want each piece to resonate with you in a unique way. I hope you enjoy the journey. I love hearing what others see in a piece—it is different and fascinating for everyone.
