My Love Affair with Art and Design

My love affair with art and design began with a rainbow.

When my first daughter was born, I sewed a fabric rainbow to put over her crib. 

Friends who were having children asked me to make one for them. I began designing and creating fabric sculptures of bears and birds, clouds, moons and stars.

My business flourished for many years, but I was working alone in my basement and wanted to get out into the world. I got a teaching degree, wrote many books, and published and coached. 

In total I had 7 creative careers. I poured my creativity into writing and marketing my books, learning business skills along the way.

And, although I had a fine arts degree, I didn't pick up a paintbrush for 25 years.

The shift that changed everything

The pivotal moment came when my family gave me a set of watercolors for my birthday. I began taking classes again and developed into acrylics and abstracts.

All my live, I had never felt like I was doing what I was meant to do. Now I know that I am.

A quiet message of uplift

My art is about transforming the emotional temperature of the room.

The art I show today comes from finally allowing myself to step into my power as a painter, using brushstrokes and color to create ethereal, yet grounding pieces that transform the mood of a space.

I describe it as luxury art because it's created with intention, not just to decorate a room but to shift it's emotional temperature.

Designer Silvia Iraghi describes my paintings as:

"Work that carries an extraordinary sensitivity, the kind that goes beyond aesthetics. Each shade holds a vibration, a frequency, a quiet message of uplift and balance.

These paintings don’t just decorate a room; they soften overstimulation, elevate energy, and bring a sense of regulation that people can feel the moment they walk in."

Artist statement

In a world that often feels chaotic, my paintings create sanctuaries of color and form that invite quiet contemplation.

My work is described as "ethereal and grounding."

I layer bold brushstrokes of transparent hues until something magical emerges, a shift in the atmosphere of a room, a pocket of stillness that invites you to linger, a chance to reflect and reconnect with yourself.

I'm influenced by the world around me, the floating clouds, vibrant spring blossoms, or hidden depths of a garden at dawn.

Art that creates wonder and contemplation

My paintings are more than just pigment on canvas. They are an outpouring of my emotions, inspired by seasonal changes and life around me.

I describe my art as luxury because it's created with intention, not just to decorate a room but to shift its emotional temperature.
