My Art - A Natural Evolution
I always wanted to paint. When my children left for college, I finally gave myself the opportunity, and picking up a brush felt like coming home.
I immersed myself in classes and workshops, painting every single day for five years. I began with flowers and animals, gradually moving toward more expressive interpretations and eventually to gestural abstraction.
It was a natural evolution. I’ve always loved bold, expressive brushstrokes, and over time, the subject became less important than the painting itself.
Today, my work is driven by color, movement, gesture, and composition. I enjoy the interplay between spontaneity and deliberate choices, allowing each painting to develop in its own way.
Beyond the Canvas
My love of painting extends beyond my own studio. For more than 17 years, I’ve shared my experience and curiosity with others through art classes, workshops, and creative retreats.
Whether exploring abstract painting, discovering new techniques, or connecting with our intuition, my approach is rooted in freedom of expression. I create opportunities for people to experiment, discover, and develop their own unique artistic voice.
