With a BA degree in Fine Arts I entered the field of commercial art and achieved the dream of becoming an illustrator of children's books, greeting cards and magazines. After five years of Art Directing in ad agencies, I decided to stay home with my infant daughter, where I would watch her grow and start my own business as an independent artist.
I wanted to be a painter and enjoy the experience of total control of every aspect of my work. Everything had to expand... my ideas, my creativity, my courage. It took years to develop my style, my mission, my passion, my identity as an artist. It was when I realized my purpose in doing this work that the tipping point occurred...after some 10,000 hours of practice, says Malcolm Gladwell, one becomes an expert in their area of concentration. I didn't count the hours, but it was a long time. Everything now feels natural, like I was born knowing how to do this work. Now I would like to share my work with you. It is my wish and my intention that these paintings help you to realize the greatness of who you are and that you become aware of the immense love that you hold in your heart.
