I'm a life-long creative and have indulged creativity in many forms; as a designer and commercial illustrator, as a crafter, as a self-taught tribal belly dancer, and now as a digital fine artist. I've created for fun, for a living, always for passion.

​

People ask what inspires me. Anything. Everything. Typical things. Random things. I don't stick to a theme. I have received no formal training in fine art, yet there is no stricter vetting process than my own. My art reflects my basic nature—a bit of wanderlust, a bit quirky, a bit atypical. The beauty of creating fine art in comparison to my commercial art career...there is no wrong way to represent, as long as it's done with conviction. To quote a line from a best-selling artist's guidebook, "the most visible artists often have more audacity than talent." I like that. 

​

I've been told I communicate with visual intensity that evokes, provokes, pokes for attention (middle child syndrome), or finds humor, like love, in all the wrong places. I would describe my style as Corrupted Beauty. I intentionally degrade my art pieces with cracks, fissures, scratches, offsets, spatters and other elements that can either represent societal breakdown or something aged and well-loved. The concept of beauty is there, but distorted, as it often is in life.
