Paintings and Originals

When I first started my art journey in the Bay Area over 9 years ago, I was focused on telling the stories of others. My art today is much more about my own journey of facing fears, self doubt, and understanding the real light and power within myself, and ultimately, each and every one of us.

My work explores themes of where we come from, where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going -- which is all happening now. Over the years, I’ve been drawn to space, planets, and the principles and mysteries in modern astrophysics - drawing inspiration from the occurring patterns, symmetries, color schemes, and profoundly complex structures in nature. The planets represent home, safety, rootedness, and support. The rope represents DNA, which connects all living things in our reality. The flora and fauna represent our potential, growth, wisdom, and those miracles of which we are capable of achieving in our lives. Time is an illusion, as we know, and the only things we really have control over are in the present moment.

As you check out my work below, I invite you to celebrate where you feel safe and grounded, reflect on where you have control (your reactions), and entertain dreams of your ultimate potential. Many of us are simply reacting to life, trying to survive the heaviness that it brings. As the wise Carl Jung said, “Whatever you resist, persists. And whatever you embrace, dissolves.” When we move from a place of reaction to emotional responsibility and intention, everything begins to shift. We all deserve a life filled with peace, calm, and love -- and the path to get there starts within you.
