All my life I admired immensely the artwork of others, never believing I could ever produce such magnificent creations. I studied and worked in other professions for income to meet my needs. I always did love creative activities; but they were just hobbies when I had the time.
Three years ago, at a time when I was undergoing great trauma, I had the strongest urge to just pick up a paintbrush and paint. When I did, I discovered two things. I felt a sense of great joy as I painted - everything else just faded. The best form of meditation and the best way for me to be in a state of peace and bliss. The second surprise was that everyone around me - family and friends loved everything I did. It feels wonderful to see my artwork in their homes.
I could be called the accidental artist. I paint intuitively and the impressionist style seems most natural to me. I am self taught.
My dream now is to share my art with everyone else. I hope that whoever is drawn to purchase my work ,will feel all that I felt as I was painting it. I hope they will find meaning within them that resonates with their own journey.
Perhaps some may even be inspired by my story to pick up a brush and create.
