This collection of works is a culmination of a year-long, intense work to create a painted story about pain, despair, loneliness, disappointments, realizations and discoveries. Each piece of Art is an exploration and consideration of the people, places and experiences that have shaped my heart, body and soul.
 
The paintings are the most revealing and most personal that I have ever created. Through them, I am exposing my pain, my sorrows, and my physical and emotional vulnerabilities. It is not however, a cry for help or a plea for empathy. On the contrary, it is a celebration and validation of the things that made me the person, the woman and the Artists I am today... Without them, I would not be who I am today. 
 
This is also an invitation to everyone who has ever been lost, felt unloved and has been misunderstood to revisit those feelings and experiences in hopes they too will see their value and be transformed...
​
My Process –
With every painting, my soul whirled with powerful energy filled with colorful and vivid images ready to be “poured” onto the canvas. As I transformed each emotion into an image, the intensity and force of it made it impossible for me to use a paintbrush to express it. This led me to use a technique commonly known as “Pouring.”
Pouring the paint onto the canvas and swirling it around, I was combining colors in a way which best reflected what I was feeling. To add more impact, I used several painting mediums like thickening and distressing solutions giving the overall image a more compelling look.
 
The final paintings are exuberant and full of my adventurous and courageous spirit. They flow with raw energy and passion and are a celebration of the awakening of my authentic self and are a way for me to give back and thank the Universe for the extraordinary gift that I have been given.
 
There are no titles for any of the Art, but their meaning is expressed in the quotes I have chosen.
 
 

As I draw or paint, I not only see color and movement, I also see words.
Many of my paintings are accompanied by poems that were inspired by my paintings.
I also have several poems which do not belong with any paintings, at least not yet!

Paintings in this collection are my earliest artwork. I created them before I even knew that I was an artist..... What I mean is that on one had seen these except me. They were in my closet for a long time until a friend convinced me to show them to a gallery curator, and that, as they say, is history...... I had my first gallery exhibit with the first 19 paintings at the Tai Sophia Institute’s Himmelfarb Gallery in December of 2010.

The collection of work that appear in this project is a passionate representation of my journey through emotional and physical healing and the exploration of my Inner Self. These paintings depict powerful and complex emotions brought forth by my intensive and extensive reflection on difficult past experiences and the healing process that occurred as a result.
This collection evokes strong reactions from the viewer with the use of rich and brilliant colors and movement within the images. The paintings invite viewers to come face to face with themselves and to embrace their own inner struggles.

This collection depicts paintings created during a year of great transition.

This collection is my guilty pleasure... I love animals, especially dogs and painted one just because.... and once I started, I couldn't stop! ;-)

The Artwork represented in this project depicts my growth as an artist and as an individual. As I explore more and more my artistic talent, I am learning more about myself, my art and the world around me.

“The Energy of Color” is a collection of 12 paintings created to reveal the energy of each of the colors represented. Color is light energy. Energy is stored in light. Each color found in the visible light spectrum has its own wavelength and its own frequency, which produces a specific energy and has a nutritive effect.
Color precedes words and antedates civilization, connected as it is to the limbic system of the brain. It is both a subjective experience and an objective feature of the world — both energy and entity. Color is tied to emotions as well as being a physical reality. The intellectual left side of the brain becomes stymied when attempting to describe the experience of color.
From the atmospheric phenomenon of rainbows to the structure of the atom, from the art is t’s palette to the multihued clothes we wear, color is a key that reflects our physical, emotional, and spiritual world.
