Art is my fraction of the truth, expressed in a way no other medium can capture. I’ve personally experienced healing and connectedness through art, and hope to capture that and pass it along. My portraits, landscapes, and abstract pieces focus on being true to one's self, and they encourage us to mindfully appreciate the vastness of our home, a space that is fluid and evolving.

My favorite author and teacher Jack Kornfield has a message that comes up for me again and again. “Take a breath. Look around. Become witness to it all, the spacious awareness, the One Who Knows.” It inspires me as an artist, and I hope it inspires you as well.

(By the way, the book is titled No Time Like the Present and it is wonderful.)
