I have been creating art my whole life. I learned at an early age that art is my path with a heart. When I am not creating my own art I am sharing my passion with others. My mission is to "facilitate empowerment through creative expression". I have been a therapeutic art educator for many years. During those years I have worked with people from all walks of life. I have discovered that the act of creating can and does help people feel better. In his book, Flow, Mihalay Csikszentmihalyi teaches us that the very nature of the creative act invokes and induces inner harmony. The end result is not important. It is the process that becomes the healing balm. I hold a BA from Ottawa University, MA in Professional Counseling and Advanced Graduate Studies in Art Therapy. My work is influenced by the teachings of Carl Jung (collective unconscious) and Wassily Kandinsky (abstract art as the way to the “soul” of art and expression The Spiritual in Art) My formal study in painting has been with internationally acclaimed instructors including Joe Cota, Mary Baxter St. Clarie, Margarite Hardeman, and Joel Coplin. Studio art - Ventura City College, San Jose State, Scottsdale Community College, Ottawa University. My paintings exhibit vibrant strong color, shapes and forms that move in a harmony. My intent is to allow one to view and appreciate fresh expressions of some ancient thoughts.
