“Art has the power to heal, energize, calm, and connect. Working mostly in bright, bold acrylic paint, watercolor, and digital media I create happy art that resonates with people of all ages and all backgrounds by creating a bridge to childhood emotions and memories. My work has a whimsical folk-art, storybook, style with graphic patterns and colors informed by mid-century design. Connecting with a piece of art that creates joy and inspires positivity can be a profoundly magical experience.”
