A bit of insight
About the Artist
My relationship with art began in high school, where I majored in art but never had the chance to learn watercolor or colored pencil. Those mediums found me later, at a time when I needed gentleness and courage. After my double mastectomy, I began painting without training—simply reaching, stretching, and rebuilding strength one small movement at a time. Watercolor became a companion in healing, a way to breathe color back into my days.
In 2025, colored pencil entered my life through classes at Lune Spark in Apex, NC, and it quickly became a source of joy and discovery. I’m learning, experimenting, and shaping a style that reflects my love of nature, light, and the treasured objects that brighten my home. My work blends imagination with lived experience, offering moments of connection through color and story. If one of these pieces speaks to you, I’m grateful.
