Artist Statement

My love affair with creating began when I was a child. I used to spend every afternoon in my parents’ floral and antique shop. As the only daughter of an artsy floral designer father and a crafty teacher mother, I was always able to see the beauty and potential in even the strangest things. On one trip to an auction with my parents, we came home with a rickshaw, a wicker coffin, a king’s sword and scepter, and a laboratory skeleton. Many days like that one fueled my imagination and eccentricity. 

In high school, my art teachers were great inspirations for me. They allowed me to go off-curriculum in every class from photography to painting to metalsmithing and explore bringing to life the crazy images in my head. You see, I was one of those weird kids that hung out with the artists, skaters, theater kids, and outcasts. With that and a very liberal upbringing, I was able to learn about nature, art, gemstones, self-expression, tarot, writing, and something wicked that came this way…

In my years, I have dabbled in all types of art from interior design to poetry to watercolor. They all allow me to bring a feeling or an image to life through art that can be shared everyday with everyone around you. Now, I am a grown woman that does not regret the roads I have walked down or the amazing sights I have seen along the way. I have found my own extraordinary side and I hope I can help you find yours. I hope that you will find a piece of my work that will inspire you to be who you are.
