About Me

I've been an art devotee as long as I can remember. My creative current has been a constant in my life of interlocking pursuits and interests. I am a psychotherapist passionate about integrating the expressive arts in my practice.

My creative and artistic projects keep the flow between my emotional and spiritual dimensions fluid and attuned. This objective of consonance exists repeatedly in my artwork.

I regard art making as a form of healing, and approach my creative process with wild wonder, inviting both provocation and introspection.  While working each project I explore the tension using the art medium as containment to provide space for the shadows before introducing hope, resilience, and comprehension through a strengths perspective.

As I integrate inspiration, new technique, skills, theory, and mediums into both my therapeutic practice and art process, I seek to prioritize curiosity and connection in comprehending the stories, experiences, challenges, and personal narratives that make each life unique.

I often address themes of identity, family, faith, community, addiction, mental health, trauma, societal issues and social injustices in my work. Art making is my conduit connection to community. I warmly embrace opportunities to encourage others to use their creative voices.
