About
I’ve always been a creative person and as a child I always loved making things. Whenever I completed a project I was working on, I would experience a sense of joy and accomplishment with my creation, art was my form of meditation, my way of communicating with The Creator.I love color, design, and texture. And I’ve always been drawn to visual arts, especially drawing and painting. I was greatly inspired by art history classes I took in college, especially the study of the Impressionist period. I also like abstract art because I see it as a message the artist is sharing with the outside world, as well as a hidden code for the world to interpret.Like many people my artistic endeavors were put on hold because I was told that there are no real careers in art. Art is just a hobby. I need to get a real job and make a living. I received my bachelor’s in applied mathematics and received a Master’s in Educational Leadership. From there I taught high school mathematics for about 5+ years and then worked 20 Years with the California Department of Education in various programs.My training in art has mainly been through taking community art classes here and there. Recently, I’ve been in a program called Color of Woman taught by Shiloh Sophia of Musea. This class has transformed my art and life tremendously and gave me the courage to call myself an artist. I learned to create from a place of internal exploration. In my paintings I set an intention which is written on the canvas and various layers are incorporated as lead by the spirit in me to create whatever needs to come out. I also paint what I see in the external world.Through the Color of Woman course will I have become certified as an Intentional Creativity® teacher which allows me to take my clients on a journey of self-exploration, bringing internal life issues to the external through drawing, painting, journaling and even some movement. My beliefs are art is healing, art is for everyone and everyone is creative in their own unique way.
