My two girls went to college. I took both a life coach certification and a painting course. My life coach journey led me to discover that expressive painting was a part of my soul and that it helped me feel more connected with my emotions. This was so powerful that I decided to coach myself as a professional, full-time artist. I also learned the value of happiness and positivity in my creative work through life coaching. Each day brings me on a new adventure into many unknowns. Experimenting with different substrates and media, including alcohol inks on glass, metal and yupo papers, as well as traditional forms such acrylic paints or mixed media on canvas, is what I enjoy. But I am always looking for new ways to make. My works are bursting with color and create a coherent body of work. The conceptual level is where you may find the secret power. This ensures the art never stays static, as it expands and turns inside itself. My life-coaching experiences taught me that what you see is dependent on your life situation and the position you're in the room. This is what I consider happiness.
