The Lotus
There has been a symbol that has always had a place in my heart - the Lotus. This beautiful flower may lie dormant for years during times of drought only to rise again with the return of water. When it does rise, it rises from unclean water to blossom as a pure, uncontaminated flower and for that reason it is a symbol of purity and resurrection.
This has been a powerful symbol for me because I have felt my consciousness go through many transformations this decade. I hardly recognize the person I was before. Recently the changes have been more acute. I feel myself changing daily. Every day new lessons learned. Every day I am one day wiser.

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.
