My two favorite traditional mediums are cut paper collage and acrylic on canvas. I am also a workshop instructor in a variety of venues, teaching playful art classes for both children and adults, live at my home studio and online. In October, 2016, I had the great honor of being trained as an Artist Educator for GOLDEN Paints, which completely blew my mind for the endless ways we can work with acrylic paints and mediums. I'm still experimenting with all this stuff and creating new classes to roll out.
I am inspired by the natural world around me, mostly leaves, flowers, rocks and the things of the Earth. I want people to feel like they get a break from real life when they look at my work. The dot work I finish with is very methodical and meditative for me, but I also mean it to be magical because I think we all need a little magic in our lives. People tell me that my trees are soothing to look at and that makes me feel really good. Art was something that came to me during a rough period of my life, and it quite literally healed me. It continues to be the place where I feel both grounded and enchanted. Art has super powers like that.
