Many of her artistic creations reflect her deep love of nature and humanity and the healing potential of art. She considers herself a fortunate inhabitant of this beautiful planet Earth.

” I recently began exploring the digital arts and especially photo composite work. With this I am experiencing a fusion of my work as a painter and photographer, pushing the boundaries of my imagination and creativity. My desire is to create healing imagery that is beautiful and thought provoking… images that further peace, social justice and change in this world”.
