I am honored to be among the selected artists for a new exhibition at the Shemer Art Center.

Varied Voices In Celebration of Women II, is a juried exhibition, held in collaboration with the Herberger Theater Center, showcasing the unique and authentic viewpoints of Arizona women artists.

I am an only child raised by a single mother. As a child I was shy, introverted and quiet. Art was my constant companion.

From the age of three I was always drawing. I used chalk, crayons, markers, anything I could get my hands on. My happiest memories are drawing alone in my room with my vivid imagination to keep me company.

I was thinking about people in creative fields and how they look at their art careers. It is kind of like a yoga practice or a meditation practice. We have to have our art studio practice. Because you are not just born a master painter. It takes time and it takes work and it takes- practice.
