“All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

-Pablo Picasso

When I was 6 years old and on vacation with my family, my parents had a caricature drawing of me made. When the man asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I immediately said, “an artist”. That desire has never left me.

Throughout my career as an interior and home furnishings designer, painting has always been within me as my purest expression of creativity. Painting has become my form of meditation. When I paint, I let everything else slip away and I enter a lovely, calm place of beauty, color, and texture, where my creative spirit manifests itself onto each canvas. I love the play of colors, blending and mixing them into a harmonious palette.

My focus is painting abstracted landscapes and shapes because the blurred line of reality and fantasy is what resonates with me. My art is meant to take you to a place within your own imagination.
