Artist Statement:
I have been an artist all my life. Crayola crayons and pencils were my favorite things when young.
I worked as a Designer and Creative Director in large and small ad agencies, corporations and design studios in NYC, Boston and Tampa.. I also had my own design business for 12 years, but I always kept a visual journal and did my own art in my free time.
Now, I work in acrylics, watercolor, collage and encaustic art full time. I also teach small group workshops in drawing, journaling, watercolors, meditation and yoga.
My work revolves around nature and the abstract, big Florida skies, portals, sacred circles and more. I have an affinity to Wabi-Sabi and appreciate old worn textures and the beauty of imperfection. Envelopes, handwriting and postage stamps often find their way into my work, as I keep a visual journal and enjoy handwritten letters.
