Artwork

Artist statement

I’ve been an artist since I was little, and later chose to pursue my undergraduate degree in art history. My influences are Gustav Klimt among other Art Deco artists, as well as Asian art, which I studied while living in Japan and in college here in Washington state.

As a Reiki Master practitioner, I’m in the habit of connecting to the healing energy of Reiki on a regular basis, both in my personal as well as professional life. I perceive the energy of Reiki as white-gold and these colors are often in my art pieces that represent healing, personal growth, wisdom, abundance, and and personal power.

My artwork primarily fall into one of three categories; healing symbols, intuitive or spiritual guidance, and the healing power of Mother Nature.

My process is entirely intuitive, building each layer of my painting based on what feels right in the moment. I use my fingers, sometimes a brush, a sponge, a brayer, and recycled materials.

The result is always magical and surprising, as I learn new ways to express myself and grow as an artist with each painting I create. I continually find emotional freedom, self-discovery, and empowerment in the works I create. Engaging in the creative process is one of the most healing things I do for my own self-care.
