About the artist

Hi, Welcome to my site, I am glad you are here!

​

I have called North Carolina home since 2013, when I moved from Seattle Washington where I had lived for 24 years.

In my years of growing up I never considered art as a major, but I always enjoyed picking up a brush and let my imagination do the rest. I was told, selling art is not going to create sufficient income to support a family. My family wanted me to study for a high paying career. I worked as an IT professional for 24 years. It was only in 2014 when I decided to go back to what I had started years ago. I have done oil, watercolor and recently mostly focused on acrylic paint/pour in abstract. I fell in love with acrylic when I did my first piece and have not been able to stop! I hope you like what I’ve created so far. I’m always searching for new ideas and out of ordinary methods.

Painting to me is relaxing, therapeutic and exciting at the same time. Hours slip by without my realizing where the time went, as I’m deep into my world of painting. Every project is different and the results are always surprising. Most of my projects hit me in middle of the night and at that moment I am so excited I can’t sleep!!

For those who are local, I teach classes as a group or private. Please contact me for details.

Click on the gallery to view my work. Originals as well as prints are available. Also, I accept commissions. My work is mainly on canvas, however, I also paint on tiles, furniture and coasters.

Thanks for reading and checking out my work! This journey has been very exciting for me and I hope you stay with me as I make progress!
