As an artist, my encaustic and oil paintings evoke both visible and invisible spiritual perspectives. I embrace an art-filled life as a painter, art educator, and curator, and I am currently furthering my journey as a student pursuing my master's in art education. Incorporating philosophy into my approach to art has enriched my viewpoint and provided a deeper understanding of various subjects, all of which I hope to share in my art gallery.
I am a photographer who paints. Working with encaustic paintings, oil paintings, cold wax, acrylic, and ink/watercolor allows me to merge my first passion for photography with my newfound love of painting.
When I engage in painting, I discover spiritual atmospheres that manifest in dreams and visions. When I create collages, I explore the fusion of my photographs and monotypes with found paper and fabric, all encased in wax or acrylic. Through this process, I form shapes and connections between different materials to convey my emotional and spiritual introspection on life. My work often finds a home in an art gallery, where it resonates with those seeking deeper meaning.
I am inspired by color, personal stories, spiritual perspectives, and the environmental beauty that can often be found in an art gallery. My mixed-media work, which includes encaustic paintings and oil paintings, draws from diverse materials to explore structural systems, environmental issues, psychological loops, and shared connections present in everyday life.
