Stop by for Art Walk and stay for our Annual Holiday Party! We will have live music and light bites. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Laguna Food Pantry.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
“I am a contemporary abstract artist residing in Southern California with an education and background in Depth Psychology and Expressive Arts Therapy. My roots stem proudly from Lafayette, Louisiana, where my love for God, family, nature and creativity first bloomed. I graduated from San Diego State University, then received a Master of Arts degree in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and was certified in Expressive Arts Therapy. As an Expressive Arts Therapist, yoga teacher and mother of two young children, for several years I painted as a private release,
and was ultimately urged to exhibit my work.
My artwork evolves from an unfolding of the personal and the spiritual, and a journey of sinking beneath the surface of the evident. I yearn to reveal the beauty in the flawed, and the balance between embrace and surrender from a deeply connected perspective… My process is a call to trust, surrender and embrace what is revealed.”
