THE HEALING POWER OF ART IS UNDENIABLE. Like a gentle shift in the wind, art can catch you off guard and awaken a new awareness inside of you. It surprises. It reminds. It helps you find peace. When you connect with something beautiful that you love, you open up parts of yourself that have been neglected and forgotten – parts that have been crying out for years to be heard . . .and healed. That is how it was for me. Almost like a powerful meditation, I discovered that the act of painting and connecting with art had the power to heal me. During a physically and emotionally challenging time in my life, art became an incredibly powerful vehicle to change my life. It also became a way for me to help others elevate their lives in unexpected ways.

"IN MY 40’S, I MOVED TO SAN DIEGO AFTER SELLING MY INTERIOR DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURAL FIRM. I WAS SO RUN DOWN FROM STRESS AND WORKING A BIL-ZILLION HOURS A WEEK, THAT I COULD BARELY WALK TWO BLOCKS WITHOUT NEEDING TO NAP. AS I LAY IN BED ONE MORNING LISTENING TO THE WAVES, , I HEARD TWO WORDS – ‘OIL PAINTING’."
WHY FLOWERS? Cheerful, loving, serene, healing, beautiful – happy – flowers are an expression of some of the emotions we all long to feel and share with others every day. As a young girl, I played in the fields of wildflowers near our house. Each day as I bound home, I would bring home a fresh hand-picked bouquet of daisies, buttercups or Queen’s Anne’s Lace as a gift for my mother. It always brought a smile to her face and I loved the way I could easily and simply share a moment with her. As I grew older, sending my mom flowers became a tradition for birthdays, holidays, or Mother’s Day. Always daisies. And, in 2010 when she was diagnosed with cancer, I sent her daisies every other week – as a reminder of my love for her. Flowers were always the way I connected with my mother, so when she passed it was only natural that the only thing that I could paint, was flowers. It was as if she was reminding me that I was on the right track. A little piece of what we shared goes into every piece of art that I paint.
