“As an artist, it is my responsibility to create positive change through my artwork. Art changes peoples lives. I have been working on ways to positively affect our community and our world. One of my favorite ways to spread positivity is through teaching paint and sip classes. Helping others break through their fears of getting creative, brings the most joy and inspiration for me. 

My goal in all of my projects is to find a way to use my talents to help others. Through the years I have realized that awareness and education are the most effective way to make a difference. I hope that my artwork brings a smile and a sense of calm to the viewer, even if just for a moment.

When I am creating, I use only my memory. I want to show the viewer what it felt like to be there, not exactly what it looked like. You can take a photo to remember a place, but I want to show you the emotion. Every time the viewer glances at one of my imaginative designs they can feel the peaceful movement and calm wash over them. 

It is important for artists to use their platform to create peaceful change in our communities. Painting is my passion and I love that I can share creativity and inspire others to break through their creative blockages. There is so much that can be healed through art if we just give it a chance.”
