- Artist Statement
I have been creating art since I was a little girl. I always loved to get a hold of some paper and coloured pencils. I’ve experimented with mostly pencils and paints mainly acrylics. I started my painting journey in high school and continued on throughout my adult years. This is when I really started to hone in on my craft and passion for painting art works. I love creating art with colours, textures and symbolic meaning.
