My love of abstract painting with shapes, patterns, mark-making, textures, collage and bold colors has a start to its history as a little nine-year-old girl stares at her Mom sewing on an old pedal Singer Sewing Machine. Being captivated by the process, I begged her to make something too. She sat me down and taught me how to sew. Using printed fabric and pinned, geometric sections to cut out shapes to make my clothing and quilts, defined my identity, my art style, and a colorful way to express myself for years to come. Later, I transferred all that knowledge into my passion for painting when taking art courses in college. I use my timed honored process that has served me well, to create inspiring, bold, cheerful paintings that send positive messages of encouragement and empowerment to continue on your path.
