I’ve always been a risk taker in my life and yet the idea of committing to being a fine artist and putting my paintings out there was something that I thought was insurmountable. But after much soul-searching I realized that it would be more painful to not pursue what I love. Hence, I began painting and basically told my friends and family not to tell anybody… Well you can only guess what happened after that. Suddenly I was being asked to do art shows and exhibits and sell work! Very exciting, very daunting! And I continue to take risks in my artwork and what I want to create and put out into the world- Beauty, the renaissance of women, the uniqueness of individuality and the quest for organic materiality in a highly technological age.
