I am a protective sister, my mother’s gracious daughter, a loving wife, a loyal friend, a dedicated professional, a vibrant artist and I am also a person, a human, who has made many mistakes. These are all truths about me. I am all of these things and many more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We can have many truths at once. In fact, we can have infinite! We should not limit ourselves. Life is not black and white. It is colorful. It is messy. It is so beautifully unpredictable. ⠀

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.
