The artwork is not about me, it’s about my relationship with the elements that collaborate in order to bring together something beautiful. I was encouraged my whole life to “do what you love, and the money will come.” It left me wondering… what do I really love? In classes, both creative spaces & spiritual/wellness spaces, this question would arise. What is that thing you love the most.

For years, I believed I would find that ‘thing’ in another person, whether that was a romantic interest or someone who inspired me, I was always looking outside of myself for the answers. While I believe that to be in balance, we do need to look outside and allow the world to move through us to be a part of the whole collective experience, the thing that I love the most wasn’t out there. It took me years, the birth of three children, a failed marriage & divorce, and many waves of grief retrieving parts of myself that I had lost in the process of seeking approval and validation in the wrong places.
