I am an artist and teacher helping people of all ages to awaken the artist within. Through my Art with Lórien learning programs, I help people who want to make art but are seeking some guidance from a professional artist who knows her way around from start to finish. If this is you or your children, I invite you to explore my offerings here.
In my studio I produce a rich and evolving collection of mixed media paintings on a variety of surfaces; for example, French cotton paper or gallery wrap canvas. I incorporate pigments, inks, crystals, minerals and a selection of magical elements. My magical elements include Reiki blessings, crystal and solar/lunar energy-infused water and my pure intention to beautify your world.
I take great pleasure in creativity of all kinds! I am an enthusiastic, fun-loving, creative innovator, who has a passion for beauty, nature, humor, curiosity, and an insatiable love for art and self expression!
My Inspiration
What inspires me is the natural world on Earth, the cosmos, love, natural beauty, color, family, good friends, the ocean, kindness, puppies, and all that is good in our world. The guiding force of my art studio is the Spirit of Aloha. As a child, my family spent time in the Hawaiian islands and I have continued to visit over the course of my life, influencing my natural, spirited and creative lifestyle. The spirit of Aloha means “to be present to the breath of life” and this is what inspires my life’s work as an artist and artist educator.
