My Journey
I specialize in alcohol ink and acrylic ink on Yupo.
I am a multi-disciplinary artist and enjoy playing with different mediums including oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, and clay. Alcohol ink and mixed media are my specialty. I stumbled on this medium when I was struggling with perfectionism in my practice. By loosening up and following my curiosity, I fell in love with the creative process once again.
Art has helped me move through and process grief, illness, and loss including a cancer diagnosis and recovery. It has also transported me to spaces of joy, expansion, and connection. I truly believe in the healing power of art.
I am grateful for my creative journey and all of the opportunities and friendships it has gifted me along the way. I’m excited to experience what’s next!
