Having always been exposed to different cultures and philosophies, I began using color and form at an early age to process and explore my surroundings, inner realities, and undying thirst for “Truth.”  In my paintings I attempt to balance the finished art product with my internal process.  Whether painting to express a thought, concept or emotion, I create with the intention of encouraging communication between viewer and painting. It has been my dream and challenge to balance and integrate my creation of art and working as a clinician and/or life coach while walking on my spiritual path.
