Artist Statement:
I paint to create joy and give hope for healing. Living on the Gulf Coast, my artistic themes often reflect a fascination with the coast’s natural phenomena, varied sea life, and the ability of the water, waves and sand to calm our souls. A consistent theme in my work is the strength of the feminine spirit as resilient survivors, represented by broken shell portraits. Ravaged by waves they lose fragments along their journey, but their rough edges are softened and their strong inner core is revealed. It is my hope that the imagery encourages women to view life's scars as emblems of their strength to be worn proudly. They are not damaged, but poised and dignified. I also use expired elements from nature to represent beauty in brokenness
