ORIGINAL ART

Original Art

Since my childhood, my natural form of self-expression has been through art.

Taught by my multi-talented Pop, I've been illustrating, painting with oils and watercolors, and crafting with found materials since I was 4.

MY FIRST OIL PAINTING: "CAPE MAY", 1993 (I WAS 8 YEARS OLD + HAD HELP!)

The Earth and Nature have always and continue to inspire my subject matter.

My favorite things to paint include flowers and plants, animals (especially pets), dreamy landscapes, and of course the intuitive paintings included with my Meditation Kits!

Over the past few years, my work has become more intuitively-driven, with a focus on looser, more abstract watercolors, often mixed with highly detailed ink illustration. Most recently, I've been enjoying the meditative process of stippled pen & ink illustration with my "Flora Aura" series of watercolor abstract orbs + hand-drawn botanicals, and mixed media pieces that include some real flowers (recycled from my floral designs!) that I press myself.
