Piano: “Allied Botanical Vibes”
My paintings are brave examples of the confusion, impulsivity, frustration and lightheartedness of my thinking. This is a celebration (on of many) of my acceptance of the women I have become, with this body and this mind. I strive to create paintings that cautiously invite the viewer to appreciate and comprehend how I walk this earth. Again and again and again in front of an empty canvas is where I find peace. Where I can rest. With colors, shapes, and words with intensity and playfulness this is me. Welcome in.
