Working for many years as an Interior Designer and directing teams has given me a depth of understanding of how attention to detail brings out the beauty of a home. A designer's role is to guide the project vision through the connections between paint, finishes, lighting and hardware in order to create a cohesive backdrop to a well furnished room. Like a painting you are balancing color and form throughout.
Art ignites the passion in me to capture the unknown and trust the outcome. Painting and drawing is when I am in touch with my creativity, and often the outside world disappears. Similar to life there are tensions between controlling the outcome and letting go as a new path is revealed. I am inspired by the elements of nature and yet my desire is to achieve an abstract reality. Living with art has brought me the greatest joy, and is a vital component to any interior space.
I get immense pleasure in seeing my art out of the studio enhancing an interior space or on display with other artists. It is a gift to know your art is enjoyed by others. I have always been drawn to celebrating creativity and generosity of spirit through events that expand the accessibility of art. I continue to bring people together to raise funds for artists and charities.
