My Brother
I distanced myself from my brother for a while, like I did to many people from my past. Getting to know him as an adult has been a great pleasure. It brings tears to my eyes to think of how he has grown from the baby boy I used to protect to a wise and strong man. He is one of my favorite people in the world. He is obsessed with growth. He reads everything he can get his hands on. He is incredibly thoughtful and empathetic. It’s no surprise that he also landed in a relationship based role in healthcare - although his is far more awesome. For example, last week he traveled to Africa for his job! Naturally, I asked him to take pictures of my art and he happily obliged.

Maternity Series - Artist Statement
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.
