The Dilemma
If you read my posts, you know that freedom is important to me. I am fiercely independent and do not accept any person or any thing that tries to take that away from me. And yet, I worry about my freedom in expressing myself creatively if I choose to become a full-time artist. Will I continue to explore all forms? Or, will I start restricting myself to what people buy or what they “like”?

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.
