“I have been creating since I was a child. Ever since I was little I have always loved and had an appreciation for beauty. Whenever I saw the world's beauty my heart would soar...

I followed the path of creativity. I went to Parsons School of Design in NYC and become a graphic designer. It was when I had children that I came back to the path of painting. One day I took some bright pastels, and filled the paper with vibrant shapes and colors! My first abstract painting! I started painting again and even went back to graduate school to get my Masters in Painting.

Art is an incredible process: it connects, communicates and is a form of expression. It is a universal language; an apple is the same picture around the world. It resonates with our souls, lifts us up and inspires us.”
