Hi!
As an acrylic and mixed media abstract artist from Southern California, I create colorful, vibrant, and playful art that celebrates freedom and allows me to express my emotions with every mark.
I find inspiration in art, travel, nature, photography, and well-being. Travel opens my mind, photography captures special moments, and nature brings me peace. A commitment to well-being nurtures both my body and mind, fueling my creativity and positive outlook.
I started painting as a way to explore creativity and make something truly unique. Abstract art allows me to freely express my thoughts and feelings, and I’m drawn to it because there are no limits to what I can create.
Painting feels like freedom to me. I enjoy playing with color, shape, form, and texture. Each brushstroke, color mix, and thoughtful detail is my way of sharing how I see the world. The process of layering and creating is always exciting, filled with endless possibilities.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast or looking to brighten up your space, my goal is to inspire and uplift through original paintings, prints, and unique merchandise. I hope my art adds color and positivity to your life. Thank you for being part of my artistic journey—it means a lot to me!
Some facts about me:
I hold a BA in Management Information Systems (computer programming) from California State University, Fullerton.
I’ve raised four amazing children—two boys and two girls—who are now grown, and I couldn’t be prouder of them.
I discovered my passion for art later in life when my youngest child was in college. In 2017, I took two painting classes at a local college, sparking a new creative journey. What started as a hobby soon grew into something much bigger. In 2022, I embraced my dream of creating colorful abstract art, and it’s now something I’m dedicated to for life! I’m so happy to have found my passion for painting and creating art, and it’s something that can be enjoyed at any age, for as long as you want to keep creating!
From 2018 to 2022, I traveled the world as a nomad, except during the height of covid.
I prioritize my well-being by adopting a holistic approach to health, maintaining a nutrient-dense diet with limited sugar, avoiding additives, preservatives, and food coloring, choosing organic options whenever possible, and exercising regularly.
I LOVE to travel…
