My paintings are described as depictions of goddesses emerging from colorful, mystical realms. With my work, I strive to communicate the philosophy of cosmic consciousness, the idea that the universe exists as an interconnected network of consciousness, with each conscious being linked to every other conscious being. Manmade objects are omitted in my work to invite viewers to step out of our material realm. Integration of the figure and ground is utilized to convey the unity of the two entities. In 2009, I began live painting at concerts. This environment allows me to lose sense of my “material” self in the atmospheric sounds and tap into another dimension of my creativity. Likewise, I paint in hopes of providing viewers an escape from the monotonous material world and for a chance to feel a sense of nirvana.
