Artist's Statement


When we discover the simple beauty around us, the whole world awakens.


The Wise Women series is not only about my story but the story of all women who seek to live meaningful and grand stories, i.e., lives with a clear sense of purpose and magnificence. I began reflecting on the subject of women and wisdom when I realized that I wanted my life to be a better story. Pondering the concept of wisdom, I observed, studied and reflected upon what it might mean to be “a wise woman.” I’ve come to see that wise people have chosen to face the challenges of life directly, and consequently emerge stronger and wiser. Observing these women as they love, share, learn, forgive, while also living contentedly and fearlessly, this is what inspired me to create these images.

In my art I try to venture beyond the conventional senses to explore the inner soul of women I push the boundaries of traditional watercolor technique, mixing in other media and playing with color, texture and transparency in a style that is loose and open to surprise. I work intuitively, embracing the spontaneity of the paint.

In conveying the joy, beauty and luminosity inherent in Wise Women living fully and wisely with joy, grace and elegance, I share echoes of my inner self. My hope this work resonates with your soul and inspiring you to live a truly epic story.
