Welcome to My Studio!

Have you ever wondered what happens between the initial idea and the final piece—or the final poem? This is where I pull back the curtain and invite you behind the scenes.

My creative life is a rhythm of visual art and lyrical composition. It’s more than just a finished product; it’s a process, a series of creative decisions, and a lot of happy accidents. Think of this as a running journal of my art-making journey, both on the canvas and on the page.

Below, you’ll find videos dedicated to showing you how I work, covering:

  • The Mixed Media Process: The initial layers, the messy middle of a project, and the specific techniques I use to bring complex textures and ideas to life.

  • The Poetry of Life: Insightful discussions about finding inspiration, how I approach drafting and structuring verse, and the art of turning a feeling into a “visual in the mind.”

Grab a coffee, settle in, and let's explore the wonderful world of creation together. Scroll down and watch me work.

    Written Blessings

    Crosses and Diamonds - What I call this encaustic, mixed media art project, where I used melted crayons to color my pumpkin in 2002. From the body to the lid which I see as it’s hat, spinning its way on the runway. This is a video short. If you would like to watch me work, take a look at Blessed Be. Thanks.
