She

This is an edgy "Pop" style work about a girl who likes dark blue, a strong, grounded, fearless and beautiful singer whose music rocks. She’s a role model, showing girls it’s possible to be strong without hardening, beautiful without shrinking, unapologetic and bold enough to take up space, she's not trying to fit into the societal norms.

She likes dark blue because it reflects who she is: deep, powerful, unshakeable.

When she sings, that color becomes a sound, low, electric, impossible to ignore.

You don’t just hear her. You feel her, and long after the music fades, a quiet courage remains, wrapped in dark blue.

I grew up in Soho, New York City, during the 1970s and 80s. My father is an abstract painter, and art has been an integral part of my life from the very beginning.

I graduated from Vassar College with a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology, which led me to Africa, where I contributed to building schools in rural villages. My journey then took me to India, Nepal, and Tibet to study Buddhism and Hinduism. Along the way, I became a jewellery maker, yoga instructor, and massage therapist, always guided by a deep spiritual path.

When I paint, I turn inward, engaging in a dialogue between my inner child and the more grounded, reflective part of myself—as a woman navigating life’s challenges, shadows, and spiritual growth. My work explores the tension between light and dark, deconstructing it until a sense of balance and peace emerges.

For the past ten years, I have been living in Sydney, where the textures of the trees and the colours of the ocean continually inspire my creativity. I teach art and yoga workshops, and when I paint, I often consider how my work can enhance interiors, interact with light, and elevate the atmosphere of a space. Nature has a profound effect on my soul, and through my artwork, I aim to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside, allowing light to shine through each piece.
