"I think the urge to create is universal, it dwells within each of us.  I realized this creative need quite early in life, with the creation of my first wall mural (in orange crayon) at the age of two.  I feel it's still this same force that guides me to paint and explore new art forms today."

My acrylics on canvas contain texture, warm and metallic colors and also collage-like compositions with actual pieces of metal and semi-precious stones worked into the paint.  I have always been drawn to abstract designs and the creative process itself.  I've discovered the need to let go of preconceived ideas, my ego and judgment of others to return to the child like state where creativity flows freely.  For me, that is how I can explore artistic freedom.

My work embodies my interests including: nature, textiles, interior design, Feng Shui, dream analysis and energy work.  My art is influenced by all these ideas melded together.  I have been utilizing these themes as the common denominator in my work.  Each piece of art includes a crystal used in the piece, each containing different energies: balancing, harmony, love, healing etc.

I am a graduate of the Philadelphia Institute of Art where I studied fine art and graphic design. My work has been shown and sold at galleries in NJ and NY.  My background in color theory helped me obtain jobs as a seasonal designer for the Trump Tower and Plaza Hotel in New York City.  I also have been commissioned to paint custom pieces for private collectors as well as paint murals for both residential and commercial venues.
