The healing power of art is undeniable.
Like a gentle shift in the wind, art can catch you off guard and awaken a new awareness inside of you. It surprises. It reminds. It helps you find peace.
When you connect with something beautiful that you love, you open up parts of yourself that have been neglected and forgotten – parts that have been crying out for years to be heard . . .and healed.
That is how it was for me.
Almost like a powerful meditation, I discovered that the act of painting and connecting with art had the power to heal me.
During a physically and emotionally challenging time in my life, art became an incredibly powerful vehicle to change my life. It also became a way for me to help others elevate their lives in unexpected ways.
Each one of my pieces is infused with an energy or intention that can help you connect with parts of yourself that are longing for greater connection, satisfaction, hope or purpose.
If you want art that you love, but also inspires you to unlock something inside you,, then I invite you to discover my energy infused art today.

I was told to paint . . .
Not in the way you might expect. It wasn’t a teacher who admired my work or friend who recognized my talent. For me, the decision to paint was in many ways destined.
As someone who had been in the interior design business for 26 years, I always had an eye for beauty and how things worked together, but when it came to painting, I knew nothing about it.
In my 40’s, I moved to San Diego after selling my interior design and architectural firm. I was so run down from stress and working a bil-zillion hours a week, that I could barely walk two blocks without needing to nap.
As I lay in bed one morning listening to the waves, , I heard two words – ‘oil painting’.
I’m certainly not one to hear voices, but the words felt so clear and so certain that it startled me. I felt an immediate urge to resist this new proclamation. What did I know about oil painting? And while I knew I wanted to help myself and others heal, I had completed a life coaching certification, was actively coaching and I was certain that was my life path.
Yet, the message was hard to ignore. The very day I heard the message, I hired an art teacher and began learning about art. I visited art museums, studied history and began to home my craft.
Mixing the paints on the first day of my first oil painting class, it was as if there was an instant recognition, like my body knew that this was my path to fully heal.
For the next year, I went to class, painted and allowed my art to fully restore my body and mind. I fell deeply in love with oil painting and the power to transform.
Today, my art is an expression of things that need to be healed in all of us.
My journey culminated into where I am today – an artist who can’t imagine doing anything else with my life. I paint art infused with energy to help you clear through the mental blocks that hold you back from your full expression in life.
Each piece is designed to inspire and create wonder. My art is designed to be shared in a place you’ll love and be reminded of whatever you personally need or who you are.

Why Flowers?
Cheerful, loving, serene, healing, beautiful – happy – flowers are an expression of some of the emotions we all long to feel and share with others every day.
As a young girl, I played in the fields of wildflowers near our house. Each day as I bound home, I would bring home a fresh hand-picked bouquet of daisies, buttercups or Queen’s Anne’s Lace as a gift for my mother. It always brought a smile to her face and I loved the way I could easily and simply share a moment with her.
As I grew older, sending my mom flowers became a tradition for birthdays, holidays, or Mother’s Day. Always daisies. And, in 2010 when she was diagnosed with cancer, I sent her daisies every other week – as a reminder of my love for her.
Flowers were always the way I connected with my mother, so when she passed it was only natural that the only thing that I could paint, was flowers. It was as if she was reminding me that I was on the right track. A little piece of what we shared goes into every piece of art that I paint.
