A friend once told me “people should do what they love and share it with the world” and the Sufi poet, Rumi once wrote, “Let the beauty we love be what we do”. I cling to these statements because of this truth. There is a reason why I love certain things, people, colors, etc. That attraction plays a role in my life’s path and how I am going to make a difference.

My work is derived from a nostalgic place. I look at elements of my art as remnants of my experiences. It represents memories, emotional scars, conversations, habits, breakthroughs and lessons.

A great influence for my artwork is related to my past summers spent in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I spent a lot of time watching nature and being immersed in oceanic life. I took in countless sunsets, noticed low tides leaving sand formations on the bayside and then being swallowed up by the ocean at high tide. I dripped wet sand into castles, collected driftwood, and sea glass the ocean had formed into soft gems. My process reflects this world. I continue to watch nature and specifically am drawn to the element of water.
