As both a therapist and an artist, my work explores the emotional and psychological landscapes we move through and carry within us. Working in representational, abstraction, and abstracted landscapes, I use painting to give shape to what is often unspoken - memory, feeling, inheritance and inner shift. Land becomes both a place and a metaphor, reflecting how personal and collective histories leave their marks. Shaped by almost two decades in the mental health field, my art practice is rooted in attentively witnessing resilience, vulnerability, and the slow, imperfect nature of repair. I am drawn to the spaces where landscapes becomes inner landscape, and where observation gives way to interpretation. I believe in color. I believe in connection. I believe in finding your way back to things that light you up.
