About Creator
To paint is to
create, and creation is what drives me. As a multidisciplinary artist my
paintings are deeply informed by my work as an actor, dancer, writer and
Shakespearean scholar. Stories inspire me, and storytelling is my
calling.
My paintings are largely abstract,
often figurative and are meant to invoke a sense of longing, romance and the
strength of the feminine energy. I hope to challenge my audience by inviting
them to see their own narrative within my brushstrokes and colors.
Being an artist has brought me many
exciting opportunities, including several murals along the East Coast
and features in various publications. I have also been commissioned by
Universities to paint statement pieces for their student centers and worked as
a live event painter for weddings, festivals and conferences.
While I do hold a Master of Fine Arts
from George Washington University in Classical Acting I am a self-taught visual
artist in constant exploration. My work as a professional stage and film
performer and painter has taken me all over the United States
this last decade. The people I meet, the experiences I have, the
makeshift art studios I practice in as I travel all teach me about
painting and reinforce the responsibilities of being an artist. I believe
fiercely that artists must create new work. History is remembered through
artists. The future is designed by artists. We are essential.
2020 was a long, hard year, but it
brought my art career many blessings. I illustrated my second children's book,
founded my own Creative Consulting Firm, and joined Gallery La La. I look
forward to a lifetime of new stories, new paintings and new opportunities.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about my artist's journey.
