Artist's Statement

 

 

"The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you discover why." - Steph Fonteyn

 

And, art helped me figure out why.

 

It took me thirty years to figure out why I was born.

 

As Pablo Picasso said, every act of creation is first an act of destruction.

 

In 2009, I hit rock bottom.

 

My wake-up call was an eerie doctor’s visit perched on the edge of a chair.

 

Followed by the repossession of my forgotten beloved paintbrush.

 

The journey was uncomfortable and bumpy. But, well worth the ride.

 

There's always a silver lining.

 

The transformation taught me how to find creative ways of solving problems and break down self limiting beliefs.

 

How to connect with my passion and purpose to discover my authentic self.

 

Thanks to hitting rock bottom, I bounced back to create art and venture on an incredible journey of self discovery that continuously stretches my comfort zone as I find endless ways to connect the dots between art, business, and communication.

 

Are you looking for an award-winning speaker to share engaging stories about creativity and courage at your next event?

 

Then, drop me a line.
