My Process

I consider myself and Intuitive Abstract Artist. I let the paint tell me what it wants and follow my instincts! Primarily, I work with acrylic paints, acrylic inks and alcohol paints on yupo paper or canvas.

My Inspiration

I have always loved art. I am a graduate of Tyler School of Art/Temple University. I am also a wife and mother of 4 beautiful kids. Over the years, I have incorporated art into many aspects of my life, from working for a visual display company, children's clothing designer and decorating cakes to "helping" my kids with their art projects. However, it has been many years since I’ve picked up a paint brush to create what I want. After being diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in November of 2018, life and living have taken on a whole new meaning for me. In 2021 I decided to take life by the reins and really pursue what makes me happy. Getting back to my roots as an artist has been incredibly fulfilling!

Fun Facts

I love using alcohol as a medium.
