My Process

My creative process begins long before brush touches canvas. It often starts with a theme or a question that keeps surfacing—something I’m living into. I sit with it. Journal through it. Let it rise and shift. A palette usually emerges alongside the feeling: soft neutrals, grounding earth tones, or deep umbers and magentas. From there, I begin.

I pour layers of acrylic ink, letting them spread and settle across the canvas. These pours happen slowly, with hours or days between each layer. I watch how the pigments move—how they seep, sink, and transform—almost like they’re revealing the emotional texture underneath the surface. This layering becomes a conversation I’m listening to, not controlling.

The symbols come intuitively. Often, I’ll sit quietly until I feel them move through me—simple marks, lines, or visual languages that seem to arrive already knowing what they want to say. I paint them in between layers, letting them emerge and disappear, then return again on the final surface. They act as messages, guides, or remembered truths.

For my threaded symbols line art, the process is different but equally intuitive. I’ve created thousands of symbols over time, letting them flow freely from hand to page. Some stay in sketchbooks. Others ask to be brought into form. I thread these lines directly into canvas using yarn—embedding meaning before ever picking up a brush. Once sewn in, I paint over the threadwork with acrylic, allowing the raised lines to hold texture, memory, and presence.

Each piece is a living process— A journey of arrival, reflection, and deep trust.

 

 

My Journey

My creative journey has been a layered, evolving process of exploration and return. Growing up on the east coast, I first discovered my love for visual art and creating with paint, crayons, markers, chalk, clay, and any other materials I could play with. In those early years, art was a natural extension of how I saw and experienced the world—a way to capture moments of beauty and possibility.

Later, my career led me into the tech industry, where I spent years immersed in fast-paced, innovative environments while recording voiceovers. Although I was creative in various ways, I stepped away from my visual art practice. However, this chapter helped me to see the importance of presence and alignment. In time, I certified as a meditation teacher and moved to Southern California, a place that radically reshaped my perspective. Immersed in the earth tones, golden light, and landscapes of the west coast, I experienced a deep attunement to nature, stillness, and inner peace. Even while working full-time as a voiceover artist, my desire to return to visual art persisted.

Now, I’ve come back to my art practice with fresh intention and clarity, approaching it as a lifelong commitment to create and evolve. My work is deeply inspired by the textures, colors, and forms of the natural world, as well as by my ongoing meditation practice. I also weave in original audio recordings to accompany my artwork.

A distinctive feature of my art is the inclusion of symbols—anchors for remembering. These subtle, minimal markings hold meaning and potent energy, offering viewers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with one's own sense of presence, intention, or possibility. Each piece is an invitation into stillness and curiosity, inspired by the rhythms of nature and the meditative process of creation itself.

This chapter of my creative journey is both a return and a new beginning, shaped by the perspectives I’ve gained through my experiences in nature, mindfulness, and artistic exploration. My hope is that my art resonates with viewers as a source of connection, reflection, and grounding beauty, reminding us of the profound simplicity found in both the natural world and within ourselves.
