About the artist

 My imagination has always been a place that I could run to when my real world around me was too overwhelming or painful to bear. For many years my imagination and sense of wonder were lost in an abusive marriage, drug addiction and suicidal depression. I mourned the loss because I thought that imagination might never return. Fighting through several years of figuring out who the hell I was – embracing myself and my spirituality, I feel I have a unique perspective on this incredible planet. I’ve used my art as an outlet and a tool to share that perspective.

My art is intimately personal for me. It has been and will always be a part of my self-growth and understanding. It is my goal to not necessarily show you my perspective of this world, but help you to experience something new and wonderous through your own lens. I hope that my art can inspire your heart to feel in a different way and your mind to buzz with something new. I use bold and vivid color palettes to entice your eyes to look, and once you look deeper than just the colors, you’ll see I pour pieces of myself into each and every drop of paint. If you look hard enough you’ll see some of you reflecting back. It could be a childlike sense of wonder as a pink whale crashes through whimsical waves, or it could be the intense grief and disparity of a woman that you don’t quite recognize but feel you know. No matter what you see in my art – I appreciate you looking and sharing a piece of your journey with me.

I have been creating art in one way or another for as long as I can remember.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business & Marketing, but am a self-taught artist. I work mostly with oil & watercolor paint and watercolors, but love to use any medium I can get my hands on.  I am able to play and be loose with watercolor, while having such control and detailing with oils. My favorite subject matter is animal wildlife and nature – because I can stretch these and create new worlds. I thoroughly enjoy portraits – specifically portraits that have a hint of surrealism. They are so intricate and take quite some time, but are so very rewarding to complete. I was born and raised all over Texas - currently residing in San Antonio - my heart will forever be here.
