Artist Statement

I am a non-conformist. You will see that in my artwork. Common social attitude suggests that you should never wear white after Labor Day. I believe in stylishly breaking the rules. Moreover, yes, stripes and polka dots can blend.

My pieces are about joy and positivity. I adore color. You will never see anything dull in my designs. I believe we all have shining elemental character traits, and I show that externally in the originality and style of my creations.

Often I collaborate on designs with my return clients. It intrigues me how approaching a piece of art from multiple perspectives, can manifest a novel, tangible object. As a Reiki Practitioner, I use gemstones and crystals to expand on the energy work that I undertake with clients. I have copied many of the Reiki patterns in my artwork. Gemstones provide both lovely colors and energetic properties.
