"I discovered my passion for painting later in life, at the age of 63, during what I thought would be a simple paint-and-sip birthday outing. That single moment awakened something that had always lived inside me: a deep need to create, to express, and to transform blank canvases into bold visions of color and life.

My work is defined by contrasts—organized yet chaotic, structured yet free. I’m drawn to vivid colors, strong lines, and shapes that often reveal the faces of people and animals. Each brushstroke is a reflection of the balance between what we see in the world and what we feel within ourselves.

Although I am a relatively new painter, my art has quickly found its way into the homes and hearts of others. I’ve been blessed to complete commissioned works and to see my original pieces resonate with collectors who connect to the energy and honesty in each canvas. The growing community around my work fuels me to keep exploring, keep learning, and keep creating.

Painting, for me, is more than technique—it’s discovery. Every new piece is a challenge to push beyond comfort, to try fresh approaches, and to shape a visual language that is uniquely my own. My goal is to share art that speaks to both individuality and shared human experience: vibrant, soulful, and unapologetically alive."
