Brief Summary
A Houston native and contemporary fauvist devoted to modern abstract expression. Her process in creating visual art is spontaneous, lushly textured and instinctive; resulting in striking multi-layered works reticent of light, detail, chaos and experience. Pieces expose extreme color, expressive movement, raw contrast and emotional energy. Simple and complex perspectives emerge and fall through repeated destruction and reiteration. A self-representing artist and certified Art4Healing therapeutic art facilitator offering workshops and original work exclusively online and at local auctions, charity events and special fundraisers.
