For Curious Minds …

When you look at my art, it asks you to pause, to notice, and to see your own story through a new lens. Each piece is a mirror, reflecting back pieces of yourself that are waiting to be recognized. I share my perspective with bold confidence, but the true meaning lives in what you discover within it. Even the simple act of being curious and open creates a shift—leaving you more aware, more connected, than before you arrived.

Absolutely. There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to experience my work. Once a piece is out there and I’ve shared a little about it, it’s yours to feel however it lands. I hope my truth sparks something for you—whatever that may be—and gives you a little fuel to explore your own.

Every material I use carries a voice. Broken mirrors catch light and fracture reflection, while shiny faux gems add a playful brilliance that speaks to adornment, desire, and resilience. These “blingy” elements aren’t about being precious in the traditional sense—they’re about accessibility, performance, and the power of sparkle to carry meaning no matter its origin.

My practice goes beyond paint and brushes. I work with my hands, with makeup brushes, threads, fragments of jewelry, photo cutouts, Bible paper, and whatever else I feel guided to include. Sometimes I close my eyes to choose a color or let the first object that falls into my space decide its place on the canvas. These intuitive acts keep me open, letting the process guide me rather than forcing control.

For me, each object—whether it’s a rhinestone, a mirror shard, or a piece of paper—becomes an entry point into the story. They layer and shift, deepening the substance of the work. Once a viewer invests in the sensory experience, those fragments and voices have the potential to become mirrors, reflecting back new truths, curiosity, or awareness that belongs entirely to them.

Art doesn’t have to be passive. Whether it’s in a show, a workshop, or a project I run, I try to make space for you to explore, interact, and reflect. You can step in, notice yourself, and maybe even take something new away. It’s all about connection and seeing things from a fresh perspective.
