My artwork is a mixture of acrylic paint and mixed media, full of layers, detail, and metallic elements. To create texture, I specialize in using pebbles, glitter, broken glass, mirrors, and gold leafing. I am inspired by life experiences, emotions, colors, layers and a lot of texture!
Beyond my artistic abilities, I am a wife and mother. My husband and I have been together 11 years. I am a stay at home mom to 3 young children. We have boy/girl twins that are 4 and another daughter who is 2. Our 4 year old son has a genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), where he grows tumors on his nerves. This disorder is heart breaking and stressful. Painting helps with my anxiety and provides some peace. It has also brought back a sense of ME vs mom/wife.
