I'm a mixed media artist living just outside of Portland, Oregon with my husband and five year old son. When I'm not busy chasing around my little boy (he's a very busy little guy), I love to paint, take pictures, read anything to do with art and/or design, and make videos about my art.
My art is about the search for connectionto self, to like minded spirits, to family, and to God. The reason that most of my work depicts a sole woman is because these are the stories of my own personal search and the emotions they invoke within my soul. My hope is that these visual stories I create with my art, touch people from all walks of life and let them know that they are not alone...and find comfort in that knowing.
I create mixed media paintings that are visual stories with many, many layers...not only literally, but figuratively as well. Also along with each piece, I include the inspiration behind it to give the viewer insight into the creative process. I strongly feel that God is using the talents He's given me to not only reach me personally, but also to spread word of His love for each and every person.
