I am an artist and I am a mother. I create intuitive abstract art and landscapes from ink, texture and natural elements found in the world around me. I live in Charlotte, NC with my husband and 4 children.

NATURE and ART have always had a powerful grounding effect on my scattered senses. They both offer an invitation to breathe deeper, to see clearer.

In my studio, time slows down as I mindfully guide transparent ink layers and textures to flow through my paintings. My work embodies a playful alchemy of watery ink, sand, rust, paper, coffee and moulding paste.

The tactile somatic process of my art-making inspires a deeper calm and knowing. As I contemplate the natural world, I explore the inner world and themes including mental health, spiritual connection and finding the unexpected beauty in messy or broken things.

My current series, characterized by a neutral palette and minimalist approach, is inspired by the raw earthy textures, coastal patterns, ancient architecture and modern stories discovered during my recent travels to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
