About the artist

My artwork is a reflection of deep reverence—for God, whom I call Source, and for Gaia, our Mother Earth. These two divine forces are in sacred union at the center of my life, and my creations flow from that alignment. What you see in my work is not born solely from me but through me.

 I am simply a vessel, responding to the quiet promptings of Spirit as they rise within my heart and soul.

Each piece I create is a multisensory experience, intentionally designed to engage more than just the eyes. Through the use of natural elements, tactile textures, layered vibrations, and fragments that produce sound upon touch, I invite the viewer into a deeper, more embodied connection with the work—and perhaps even with themselves.

Outside of my creative life, I am a proud mother of two beautiful children, a loving wife, and I serve full-time in the Early Childhood Education community in New York City. Despite the fullness of each day, I make time—however brief—to step outside and connect with nature. It is my sanctuary, my teacher, and my most faithful source of inspiration.

I especially cherish walks with my children through our neighborhood and along the shores of local beaches. These shared moments not only replenish me but often lead to the discovery of nature’s own masterpieces. We approach the environment with deep respect, never disturbing or removing anything still serving a purpose in its natural setting. Most of our treasures—feathers, stones, driftwood, shells—come to us after storms, having been freely given by the Earth.

Feathers, in particular, hold a special place in my work. They appear often, especially those of the Blue Jay, which carry a sacred connection to my late father. Some materials I collect may sit with me for years before their purpose becomes clear. Others find their place in my work almost instantly. Each piece, each step of the process, is guided by something far greater than myself—and I remain humbly in service to that guidance.
