We are safe despite Hurricane Helene! While we experienced extensive flooding on our first level, it’s not as severe as what others in our area are facing. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Florida, Georgia, ASHEVILLE, and North Carolina. We hope to return by 10/15/2024, sending lots of love and prayers to those who have lost so much and those with missing or lost loved ones!

Artist Statement
My art is an exploration of the human spirit and its connection to the natural world. Through my paintings, I strive to capture the essence of emotions, memories, and the enigmatic beauty that surrounds us. Drawing inspiration from the interplay of light and shadow, I create vivid and textured compositions that invite viewers to introspectively contemplate the mysteries of existence. Nature has always been my muse, and I find solace in its ever-changing landscapes. The harmony and chaos that coexist in the natural world mirror the complexities of our own inner landscapes. My work seeks to bridge the gap between the tangible and the intangible, as I explore the depths of human experience and the wonders of the universe. In my artistic process. I allow my intuition to guide each brushstroke and create a dialogue between the conscious and subconscious. This dance between intention and surrender leads to unexpected discoveries and imbues the artwork with a life of its own. Through the use of vibrant colors, intricate textures, and layers of symbolism, I invite viewers to embark on a personal journey. Each piece becomes a visual narrative, inviting contemplation, and encouraging self-reflection. Hoping to invoke emotions and memories that resonate with the viewer, I endeavor to create a sense of connection and shared experience. Art has the power to transcend language and cultural barriers and speak directly to the soul. It is my hope that my art not only captivates the eye but more significantly touches the heart. I believe that by exploring the depths of our own humanity, we can find common ground and nurture a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world we inhabit. Ultimately, my art is an invitation to embrace vulnerability, discover beauty in the ordinary, and celebrate the profound interconnectedness of all things. It is my way of expressing the ineffable and sharing the human experience, one brushstroke at a time.
