I’ve created a very different artwork while sheltering in place these last few months! What started as an anxiety-inducing COVID shutdown of much of my normal activities turned into a very large triptych, that is colorful and shiny and harmonically helped restore my native optimism. It’s another example of how art gives back.

After encouragement from a few of my artist friends, I signed up for Art2Life Spring 2019 course. I never thought that a three-month course would engross me as completely as it did but I found myself loving every minute of learning, growing, experimenting, and creating!

When I heard Oprah’s speech receiving the Cecil. B. DeMille award at 2018 The Golden Globes, I was so moved that I felt inspired to paint her in my style. She has helped so many, educated and raised the consciousness of so many people all over the world.

I am so excited to share my new artist video with you, fabulously filmed by Doug DeBoer, a talented artist himself. It’s an introduction to my art and tells a short version of my journey. I will be following up with some shorter videos talking about my genres and individual pieces!
