MOTHER ~ NARNY ~ ARTIST ~ WIFE ~ LEARNER
Art has been a lifelong passion, woven into the very fabric of my being since childhood. Though the demands of life occasionally pulled me away from the easel, creativity was never far from my heart. I would often find solace in crafting, ensuring that the creative process remained an integral part of my routine. But in recent years, I've been reminded that my true "happy place" is found in the vibrant interplay of colors on canvas or paper, where I can experiment, explore, and express the deepest parts of myself.
I work with a diverse range of mediums, including pastels, watercolor, acrylics, and colored inks, each offering its own unique way to bring my visions to life. When my two boys left for college, their former bedroom transformed into a sanctuary—my art studio—where creativity could flourish without bounds.
