Bio:

Painting is relaxing to me, it’s time spent just for me. You take different ideas and images and turn them into something unique and beautiful. I try not to focus on the end product; I put my best foot forward one step at a time, and no matter what happens along the way I always do my best. I paint the things I love most--subject matter that is good for the soul. I have found a great friend and support in my peer art teacher; she encourages me to try new things and helps me when I’m unsure of what to do next. When I am painting I am fully focused on the act of creating, it takes my full concentration, and that is therapeutic.
