Art has been an integral part of my life for longer than I can remember. My parents encouraged this and throughout my early childhood and eclectic schooling experience it was a core focus of my life. I followed this passion through to graduating with a BFA from the American Academy of Art in 2013.
After graduation I spent a decade focusing on my career in the Corporate World, leaving my art by the wayside - put aside but not forgotten. I wasn’t creating but I hauled my supplies along every time I moved to a new place, because getting rid of them felt like “giving up” and I just couldn’t allow that. Finally, in early 2023, after many major life changes, something snapped into place again and I dove back into art voraciously.
I discovered a passion for watercolor, which is now my primary focus. Painting is meditation for me. It’s soothing, it’s exciting, it’s a brain teaser, and I couldn’t live without it! Watercolor has helped me let go of my unhealthy perfectionism, and I now approach art from an “it’s all about the journey” perspective. I welcome you to join me on this journey, if you’re inclined to exploring.
