About me

Life is a vibrant, flowing river, revealing the ease, beauty, and magic that surrounds us. In surrendering to this current, I find joy—and through my mixed media creations, that joy unfolds in a shimmering dance of colors and forms. Each layer and texture is a glimpse into life’s wonder, capturing moments where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary.

My art becomes a space for reflection, inviting the viewer into their own dialogue with life’s magic. As colors intertwine and shapes emerge, the observer becomes a co-creator, discovering their own story within the canvas. My deepest wish is to spark this recognition – an awakening to the beauty and wonder that exists in every moment, nourishing both heart and spirit.

Through my art, I seek to convey the magic and profound beauty of life. Through bold color, fluid forms, and mixed media, I create pieces that invite reflection and inspire a deep emotional connection.
My work aims to evoke joy, love, and a sense of renewal, encouraging viewers to reconnect with themselves and the world around them.”

My former work with Glass Fusion

My artistic journey began with glass fusing many years ago, a process where heat transforms solid glass into fluid shapes and subtle color nuances. This experience with the fluidity of glass deeply influenced my approach to painting, where I continue to explore how forms shift and evolve. The flow of glass melting mirrors the flow of water, both in its unpredictability and its capacity for transformation.

As my work evolved, I moved into fluid art, eventually transitioning to mixed media, where I layer colors, textures, and materials to create dynamic compositions. Water remains a central theme in my work, symbolizing life’s constant movement and the emotional currents we experience.
