ARTIST STATEMENT
For me, life is about freedom and passion. The freedom to be passionate about life, living, nature,
loved ones and creating...and passion to be free to be myself, to express what I see and dream.
My creations start with play time, I am a child playing with material and I let go of all the
outcome. Enchanted with the present moment, I let the interactions between the material and my
hands just dance together. There is no plan or design when I’m starting a composition, I become
immersed with each dance step and the direction it takes is being channeled through me from another source.

I’m inspired by the mother earth, I have always been a nature girl my entire life and I focus on
all the amazing wonders of mother nature. In my work, I see rich textured soil, clear blue water,
spacious open sky and a soft breeze. In my pieces of art you can see the contemporary feel mixed
with a rustic earthy feel, two complete opposites that dance well together. I focus on rich colors,
I am pulled toward curtain colors and each one give me some emotional feeling that I’m looking
for. I practice Metta and put it into each piece, Metta (Pali) is a benevolence toward all beings,
without discrimination, that is free of selfish attachment. It is a strong, sincere wish for the happiness of all beings.
