Artist Statement

For several years my primary focus has been taking care of my beautiful daughter.  Now that she is older, I find myself transitioning back into the life of an artist.  In this season of life, I am not only re-inventing myself as an artist, but also finding out who I am once again as an individual.  I bring to this new body of work a combination of joy, playfulness, and a curiosity about what it is to be human. 

The process of creating is just as important to me as the finished pieces.  The process must be fun, guided by intuition and full of experimentation. What begins as a simple concept often transforms many times before reaching its final form. Some works are created simply to bring beauty into the world, while others hold deeper, symbolic meanings rooted in personal growth and healing.

I often draw inspiration from spiritual traditions and the Chakra system to explore different dimensions of self-awareness and emotional balance. My intention is to create art that not only reflects my journey but also invites others into their own process of reflection and healing. Many of my pieces are designed to inspire peace, joy, prosperity, and connection within the community.

Incorporating sustainability is a core part of my practice. I work with recycled plastic bags to reduce environmental impact and bring new life to discarded materials. I also use anodized aluminum, sterling silver, copper, enamel, beads, and gemstones—each selected for their aesthetic and symbolic properties. These materials come together in the form of flowers, feathers, teardrops, and other organic shapes, some of which are tied directly to Chakra healing and meant to be worn on the body for energetic alignment.

This body of work marks a new phase in my life—one that I embrace with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to surrender to the unknown. Through my art, I seek not only to navigate my own evolving identity but also to offer moments of joy, wonder, and beauty to those who engage with it. I hope to inspire others to see art as a powerful tool for transformation and unity, and to foster conversations about how we can collectively create a more peaceful, sustainable world.
