My motivation to work in clay and paint stems from my love for our natural world and its beauty. I am passionate about learning from the medium I choose to explore and share with others. The clay teaches me about myself and how to center, be playful, patient and kind. The paints that I choose to apply on ceramics, canvas or paper all bring out my inner and outer reflections of our world. I hope to make the world a more beautiful, contemplative place through creating art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I’m in my artistic work, I give my full concentration, breath and being to this moment. I find that when I’m slowed down, I feel inspiration and motivation to capture the art within me to shine outwardly in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I have a Master’s degree in elementary education, degree in English and teaching middle and high school students, and as the mother of triplets, I’ve found that my studio is my slice of heaven on earth where I can now transfer my background in teaching to sharing my Clay, flower design, painting in all types of medium keep me in my breath work, focused and present.\u00a0 I create my best work and love what blossoms when I’m centered.\u00a0 The centering process is my passion.\u00a0 The end results are also often pleasing.\u00a0 I look forward to inviting you (your friends and\/or children) to go inward, breathe, and root down in one’s lives, tap into one’s creative expression playfully, and reflect the varying colors and hues that speak to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Freelance artist available to work on your projects:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m very interested in collaborative project creation.
