We create our paradigms based on our experiences and thoughts. I have found that self-awareness of my looping thoughts allows me to shift my reality to see new layers of meaning. My art connects me to my sensitive child-like wonder creating magical, imaginative visual stories. Using mixed media, I create abstracted realities with flowing lines, shapes and forms. Nature inspires my meditative creative process depicting metamorphosis. I am discovering healing through my painting process and I hope the viewer will join me and find new layers of magic in my fairytale.
