A Little About ME:

“As we go through life, we grow and transform - my art has grown right alongside me.”

Growing up, I didn’t take any art classes in school. I thought I was not meant to make art because I couldn't draw. My artist days started more like crafting, and it was not until I was in my very late 30s. When everyone was making their perfect scrapbook pages and cards, I was tearing paper, creating my version of cards.  At this time, I did not realize that physically tearing paper would become the basis of my original, textured paintings. My textured cards evolved into notebooks with the original torn paper art as the covers.

In 2009, I launched my art business.

From Stationery to Original Works:

For many years, I focused on creating art for stationery products. My collection of greeting cards and notebooks was sold worldwide, and I had the privilege of pursuing several licensing opportunities. These ventures allowed my work to reach audiences in places like Scotland, Dubai, the UK, and the United States. Through this experience, my artistic practice evolved from creating inspirational designs for product sales to creating florals and abstracts for prints and home decor. Torn paper and collage have remained recurring themes in my work, adding a distinctive touch to my artistic journey.

 My understanding of the art world has evolved alongside my artistic journey and personal growth. Just as we all change over time, so does my art and my business. Creating art has always been my true passion, and my goal is to share it with a broader audience from all socioeconomic backgrounds. From original artworks to prints and stationery, there's something to inspire everyone.

Collage: An Original Process that resonates within me:

I love building layers of texture with torn paper, and I am drawn to tactile surfaces. I love abstract work and the hidden marks that can be found.  This allows for one’s imagination to run wild.  I love watching florals come alive with character and personality. My process involves ripping up the original torn paper works and layering these pieces again and again. This discovery or process has allowed a natural flow to resonate within me.
