Artist’s Statement: 2
My artwork is a manifestation of my truth, my direction and my desires. My quest is in search of the essence of the mind, spirit and soul, in search of the beauty of light and space. For in that search, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. My paintings are an expression of my vision, my life, and my love. Showing up at the canvas allows me to honor the emptiness and grief of my heart and allows me to discover a life of gratitude and peace. With every passionate stroke of my brush I am letting go, surrendering to the magic of the moment, I allow my story to be told. I am a self-taught artist, living and working in the Chicago area.
