Essence
36 x 36
arcylic, mixed media on canvas
metallic gold leaf detail
I felt inspired to capture the feeling of late summer… a warm September day, the sun glittering in reflections on the water, a golden fallen leaf floating on the cool lake surface, caught in the swirling current behind the boat… a reminder of summer slipping away.

Pink Petals
30 x 30
arcylic, mixed media on canvas
metallic golf leaf detail
This painting was found in meditation, and then presented itself in real life as a shared healing experience. Pink petals were a metaphor for residual pieces of a broken heart. We stood on the shoreline and sprinkled the petals into the sea, watching as each cleansing wave washed away the petals, the broken pieces, returning them to the sea to heal and restore. This experience translated onto canvas is such a special piece, a healing piece.

Diary Excerpt
In place of a bio, I will share an excerpt from my most intimate thoughts, the core of where I express from.
January 22, 2021 (two months after I finished active treatment for breast cancer)
Do we talk about the things that inspire us? What we want in the future?
I want to meander through a garden that never dies, 100, 1000 years old. The fresh smell of green flowers and moss with every breath. Live & love by the sea. I want to explore places that feel like the edge of the world; Reunion Island, Marquesas, Indonesia. And take a million photos so when I’m too old to adventure, I can lie on the beach and reminisce about the splendour of this earth and hold those memories close in mind and heart. I want to spend my summers in Sardinia and Sicily and the Côte d'Azur. I want to float and let the saltwater hold me, filling my ears with the muted echoes of the sea. I want that fire to fill my eyes with sparkles again when I see my lover. And when he kisses me, electric butterflies dance through my body. I want to fall in love, a hypnotic intensity, like two crazy teenagers intoxicated with magnetic passion. I want to be immersed in the beauty of it, of every breath, of every moment in this lifetime.
In all of my work, you will find components of these visions, desires, and memories communicated through the tension and harmony of abstraction.
Scar Tissue
The beauty that remains in place of our brokenness. The learned human experience. It is both physical and emotional, physiological and psychological.
The words I pray to hear after every scan. Scar tissue is hope.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that cancer patient would be my path. As much as I don’t want cancer to define who I am, or to exist here in my bio, I am grateful for its gifts.
cancer is a catalyst . a mirror . an awakening
This “pause” (cancer, the pandemic, broken relationship) changed me profoundly. No longer on autopilot with ego in the driver seat. Instead, continuing to cultivate the practice of emotional intelligence, the pursuit of insight into self, the work. To exist, behave, and to be present as my authentic self, fully awake, in full bloom.
Scar tissue is the reminder to be intentional with my time, in my relationships, and to seek what allows me to be in my joy.
Through darkness there is light.
