ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I knew at age 4 that “playing” with clay and paint was my favorite pastime. What I didn’t know then was that this was my calling. Fast forward to now, retired, children grown, I’m free to focus on these offerings of total and complete joy. Hopefully that joy is infectious.

Finally I’ve reached a time in my life where I’m free to express my true passion and purpose. Not much fulfills more than when I’m in creative mode. The process may be even more gratifying than the completion of a piece of artwork, that space between conception and culmination. A spiritually enlightening stage. We are all able to experience this once we tune in to our inner voice in expression of who we truly are.

Thank you for appreciating and participating in my artistic celebration of life.

BIO

My journey as an artist began in childhood. Growing up in Harlem as one of twelve children during the Baby Boomer era, I discovered early on that working with clay and paint brought me immense joy. Creative expression has always been a part of who I am, even before I fully understood it as my life’s calling.

In my twenties, I moved to Brooklyn, New York, where I continue to live today. Throughout the years, art remained a constant source of inspiration and fulfillment. Now, with my children grown and retirement allowing me the freedom to fully embrace my passion, I have dedicated myself to creating work that reflects my experiences, spirituality, and appreciation for life.

For me, the artistic process is often as rewarding as the finished piece. Creating art is a journey of discovery—a space between imagination and realization where I feel most connected to my purpose. Through my work, I seek to celebrate joy, personal growth, and the beauty that exists within each of us when we listen to our inner voice.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share my artistic vision with others and hope that the joy I experience in creating these works is felt by those who view them.

Today, I reside in Brooklyn with my beloved Maltese, Lola, whose companionship brings warmth and happiness to my daily life.
