My elaborate acrylic and watercolor patterned drawings take shape instinctively. My art process is a spiritual experience guided by my heart and intuition. When I create my work, I shut out the rational side of my brain and let the subconscious and intuitive voice speak through my hand and onto the paper. I often start with a simple idea, such as vines, hearts and geometric shapes, and create an outline. I never know until I fill in the outlines which colors or patterns I will use. I trust my intuition and enjoy the thrill of seeing where my heart and my hand will take me. In many ways, it is therapeutic for me. I want my pieces to brighten my viewers’ lives, make them pause in their busy life and bring a smile to their faces.
