My mother was an artist, my father an architect, so I was exposed to a creative environment at an early age. My parents encouraged me to pursue my own dreams, so I owe everything I am and can do, to them. I love all artistic expression- sketching, painting, writing and sewing. I enjoy painting on furniture, clothing or any object that inspires me to give it a new personality. Working on custom orders is especially gratifying because the client gets involved and excited. The whole process is exhilarting for me; to see how colors interact, shapes form composition, and a work of art is born. It is very therapeutic to just have faith, enjoy what you are doing, and see what happens!
