My current personal work reflects my 25 year art journaling process and how that has healed me. My work now takes form in larger mixed media pieces with collage and writing as their foundation. Above all else, my artistic process serves as a profound journey of self-discovery and emotional healing. My art making weaves in aspects of art journaling, collage, printmaking, painting, asemic writing and book binding. Through these powerful and limitless portals of mixed media, I explore the depths of my emotions, allowing them to surface and be transformed into tangible artistic expressions. Each piece I create is a reflection of my inner landscape and serves as a testament to the power of art to heal and illuminate the path of self-understanding. Making art is an essential part of my life. It is as important to my well being as eating well, sleeping, exercise and prayer. I strongly believe that my creative practice has healed me on a deep level, and I strive to honor that gift by sharing my understanding of creating art as a healing tool with my students and clients.
