Life In Spirit
I have a deep appreciation for beauty. My goal is to restore and renew your life through my artwork. I purposely search for beauty in everyday life. I desire to bring beauty to my world and yours. Living the aesthetic life energizes my body and spirit. I hope to transfer this spirit through my art to you and allow you to experience a moment of connection and transformation. I believe aesthetics can heal. In each painting that I create, I set an intention. This intention is to bring you to a deeper experience of yourself and connection to the spirit. Through color I take you on an emotional experience. Having my artwork in your possession, allows you to create a healing place in your home. As I create, I am channeling energy that feeds my soul and you will discover this same energy residing in each piece to share in your home for a lifetime.
