About The Artist

“Everything I draw – comes from my own experiences, one way or the other. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder….and possibility that pervades that time of my life.”

Constantly enriching the repertoire of her artistic palette, her search for a deeper meaning in life has propelled her to delve into the mysteries of the mind, nature and the universe. Metamorphosing in a deeply meditative series of serene Lotus Ponds and the graceful form of the Horse as poetic beings embodying all that is instinctual and intuitive; Horses speak to that part of our souls that long for a connection with nature, with something larger and wiser than ourselves.
