If you follow my IG stories you probably know that I’m obsessed with my cat, and he is in return just as obsessed with me. We spend every moment at home in the same room. He dances when I dance. He loves watching me paint - but - if I don’t pay enough attention to him, he will tap me. He likes to smell each ingredient while I cook. He enjoys playing hide and go seek. He jumps up on my shoulders and gives me a hug every day. He waits at the door when I come home. When I come back from travels, he sleeps on my pillow and rests his head on my head because he missed me so much. It’s so beautiful and spectacular that two species can love each other this deeply. I can’t begin to describe the anxiety I feel when I think of the day he will no longer be with me. I don’t know what I’ll do without him. I guess all I can do is show him all the love I can while he is here

Color is a focus of my work for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is for healing. My father was an angry and violent man. He took out his rage on his family daily and I took it upon myself to protect my mother and brother from him by becoming the focus of his fury. We didn’t have much, but my mother filled our home with colorful art to bring radiance into an otherwise dark place. I followed in her footsteps and escaped into vibrant art of all shapes and forms. Getting into the flow of mindful art creation has been the single most important part of my healing. I hope to share the happiness that colorful art brings me with others, especially children.
