Like many artists, I was born with the hunger to be creative.   It is a natural energy embedded in my genes that cannot be ignored.  I believe it is a gift from our Creator that allows me to converse to the Universe in my own special language.  A language composed of color, texture, spirit and emotion.  If I don’t express this energy, I feel as though my soul becomes divided from the Universe.

After graduating from Arizona State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art, I started to experiment with different styles and mediums.  I fell in love with the plasticity and forgiving characteristics of acrylic paint.  A thick application of paint and the addition of found objects are trademark elements of my work.  These physical elements invite my viewers to connect with the many layers of the painting.

Painted with a contemporary flare, ancient influences of Buddhism, the metaphysical, chakra healing and other eastern philosophies are apparent in my paintings.  Philosophical and spiritual authors such as Deepak Chopra, Eckart Tolle, and Daisaku Ikeda have greatly influenced my artwork and have become the back bone to my holistic lifestyle.  Each brush stroke expresses the earnest, most lighted part of my soul. 

One of my art patrons described my work as “Yoga for the Eyes.”  This phrase alludes to the union of the mind, body and soul. I hold great honor in each opportunity that I catch to unlock a delicate balance of visual design with spiritual transcendence.
