Artist Statement:

​

I’m inspired by the lighter side of life. Through trying times, I’ve found myself coping through art and through creating things that made me happier.

 

”For me, painting is as much intuitive as it is technical. It’s a combination of who I am as a woman-the artist ,the art curator and the art educator-researcher. Painting is my way of honoring my time on earth, where I walk the talks and facilitate other aspiring women minds. It’s my way of paying homage to the human experience of art, a process that moves me every day”.
