I am an emerging artist living and working in North Carolina. As a self-taught artist who always went against the grain, I molded her art style through experimentation, creativity, and attending various workshops in North Carolina and nationally. I have found my voice in non-objective painting, and my style consists in combining mixed media techniques in acrylic, soft, and oil pastels with collage bits on texturized surfaces. The result is an ever-shifting collection of paintings on wood boards, canvas, and paper. I recently discovered oil painting and cold wax, and the continuous dance between adding and subtracting expands my creativity and challenges the way I experiment with color and texture.

Painting is my therapy. As humans, we need to analyze, organize and understand our emotions and fears, and using a canvas as a vehicle for introspection is particularly effective to me. My art is based on love, acceptance, and forgiveness. I use my inner voice and feelings to paint. I project my inspirations and forge the perfect balance of colors, shapes, and lights through them.
