Feminine Colorful Dreams

My work is inspired by the many incredible women I have connected with throughout my life. You'll see a play of delicacy and strength, femininity, and resilient power.
After spending almost two decades as a ballet dancer, followed by a long career in women's fashion and merchandising, I chose to step away from it all for a moment of rest. This time in my life allowed me to slip back into the creative space I had been craving for so long.
An abstract nod to the seasons in my painting represent the growth and shifts of the seasons of life, while the landscapes I incorporate into my artwork give the figures a dreamlike place to exist in. Surreal dreamlands, subliminally connecting women to nature and the seasons of the earth. An environment of colorful mountains, deep oceans, and endless skies.
As women, we travel through many stages of life while still being expected to carry on in silent strength. In my figures you'll see confidence, joy, sadness, and sarcasm. An expression paused to reflect on, as if they're allowing you into their thoughts for a moment in time before returning to the expectations of the world.
