I am self-taught artist and love learning new creative processes. I freely embrace new ideas and creative concepts when it comes to my artistic endeavors. I have been an artist in one form or another since I was a child.

 

I have overcome experiencing A.C.E., being dyslexic and being deaf in one ear. I chose to heal and retrain my mind to transform my life through art. By working through my art I was able to prevail over these barriers to become a self-taught artist I am today.

 

I have a passion is to help those who suffer from trauma discover ways to express emotional pain constructively through art by creating the Heart of Colors Project. It is a non-profit project dedicated to serving trauma survivors through art.

 

In 2022 I created a series of 45 - 50 paintings with acrylic fluid paint ( mixture of acrylic paint, floetrol and water) with a twist of swiping the paint with a moist paper towel to create flowing shift colors on the canvas.

 

I also teach hand painted glass and acrylic fluid art classes in community businesses or as private creative experiences.

 

I currently reside in Tacoma, Washington where I work out of my home studio.
