Nearly 20 years ago, when my career was focused on fashion, I found myself always drawn to colors in all forms, whether it was fabric, jewelry materials, interior design elements - really anything that could use art to reflect emotion or feelings.  One day, my boyfriend Bryan (now husband) asked me, "What is something you have always wanted to do, but have been intimidated to try?"  The first thing that came out of my mouth was canvas painting.  Bryan gave me my first easel, canvas and set of paints and I absolutely fell in love. ​

​

Throughout the years, I trained with various art instructors while balancing my career.  I learned different methods of expression, borrowing from great styles to create my own technique and vibe.  Painting was always my place of peace & my therapy - where I could reconnect with myself, find energy and express the emotions I was feeling onto the colors and textures of the canvas.  Whatever part of my journey I was on – from travel adventures to career changes, from pregnancies to raising babies, from NYC apartments, west coast beaches or the suburbs - I could always find serenity, inspiration and enlightenment by reflecting my soul onto the canvas.

​

In my work, I often draw inspiration from our natural surroundings. I have always been drawn to water and florals especially.  I find the colors, tones and depth of the ocean and how the waves balance between peace and chaos to be a unique representation of life.

​
After sharing a few pieces, raising money at various charities and being commissioned to create personalized, original pieces, I have decided to make painting a much larger focus of my time.  I am over the moon to start this journey and dedicate more time to a creative outlet I hold so dear to my heart.  I look forward to connecting with you on your unique, ethereal creation that will bring love, light and inspiration to you and your home!
