I’m driven by color—it excites and inspires me. As I paint, I’m conscious of the energies that colors possess, especially as agents of healing that can transform us. Color can change how we feel. I work fast and I’m always in motion, like dancing, I need space. Sometimes I work with paintings on the ground so I can come in from any angle. I love a translucent surface with depth to see through the layers into time and space. I try to reveal our natural source and it’s all there in the color.

In my work, I use noble materials such as semi-precious stones that absorb, preserve, focus, and issue energy. I use stones such as amethyst, citrine, lapis lazuli, agate, quartz, onyx, jade, and hematite. I also use Swarovski Elements that serve as perfect and glamorous light enhancers, highlighting details with their extraordinary reflection. By means of the intentioned use of color, shape, and texture, I incorporate nature symbolically and figuratively, along with its rhythm and movements to create an experience of the magic in its perfect harmony. I am awakening the collective unconscious of the sensations that only nature is able to transmit: peace, tranquility, strength, harmony, and magic. In this way, I seek to provide the right energy to harmonize every space and the people who live there.
