She believes that nature is her greatest inspiration and that visiting the major Art Museums and Galleries is the best school to learn the higher expressions of Art. Over the years, her work has evolved from realistic to more abstract and symbolic ,but the underlying motivation or intent has never changed: use painting as a means to be in the moment and enjoy the silence that sets in while creating. She sees painting as an act to go beyond all layers of fear and hope that prevent pure and free creation. Her paintings are optimistic as she paints from a place of love, abundance, and her compassion for others. Her motto is "I love Beauty!"
