When my husband Dave and I were first married he gifted me an easel and paint set as a gift. I was thrilled, and I started right in by painting a picture of our home. I would go out front every day around the same time so the light was the same and I would spend time painting. I found that I would easily lose track of time, and I found myself going on a bit of a “mental vacation” while painting, and I would often loose track of time. This is how I discovered Meditation!

I enjoy using bright colors and I often use both my fingers and brushes as tools. Layering with intention is a big part of my process. I most often I am guided by the colors and shapes that show up as I paint. It’s somewhat of a spiritual practice. As a Shamanic Practitioner I often find myself drawn to painting animals, feathers, faces, trees, and the elements.

Acrylic paints are my most common medium however I do enjoy mixing paper and natural ingredients into my paper for mixed media art. And I love painting on just about anything… Canvas, paper, fences, rocks, houses, doors, utility boxes, etc.

As a Certified Creatively Fit Coach, I enjoy teaching others how to connect with themselves while painting and create from their heart without being “perfect”. I love working with children and adults of all ages during painting workshops and one-on-one.
