Live
Artfully...a goal I try to achieve daily. My adventure in
art and design began as a graphic designer…which blossomed
into a now full time mixed media artist.
I
unleash my soul and creative spirit through acrylic on canvas
creations, leaving behind vibrant simple objects that are
energetic and ooze with inspiration. My child-like creations
evoke happiness...and I am inspired by practically anything
such as a coffee mug, a catalog I get in the mail, or something
I see while driving.
My
days usually involve making one big colorful mess… something
my soul thrives upon, with a chaotic spin in the mix! I feel
that art can help evoke one's passion, one's purpose or mission
while adding color to today's hectic lifestyle. Like a child
discovering colors or how to draw for the first time, my creative
energy never seems to stop flowing. I
start with a word or a phrase and expand from there. A direction.
An idea. A path. A thought. I want people to look at my art
and find their happy place...everyday.
Life is an adventure, art is an adventure; therefore each piece
I create is an adventure. Each canvas has its own journey.
Oh...and
one more thing! Since I am a wife to one and mother to four
girls, my life revolves around constant chaos - is life suppose
to be any other way?!? It is through my own chaos, the love
from my family and friends and the experiences that I encounter
on a daily basis that drive my creativity. I feel it is important
that we all be reminded to live artfully, to be thankful for
who we are and what we have, to be inspired on a daily basis
and to express ourselves through creativity. My goal is to make
both art and happiness a habit!
