My identities as a woman and as an artist are intrinsically linked.
My work explores issues of spirituality, myths, symbolism and universal womanhood. By painting the many faces of women, I connect to the archetypal types that celebrate women’s energy, thoughts, dreams, memories and spirits.
As I create my art, through paintings, drawings, art journals and altered books, I reveal aspects of myself and my connection to womanhood.
My art speaks a language of many cultures and I feel immense reverence in being able to translate my individuality into this multitude. My unique and stylized way of creating art comes through in all my creations.
