Determined to make a living creatively, the artist embarked on a journey that took them from teaching art in Virginia public schools to running a scholarship program in Mexico. After years of exhibits and living on an art-farm in the Shenandoah Valley, they eventually obtained an art degree, which led them to Los Angeles where they met their husband, a fellow creative. Together, they spent nearly 14 years in San Miguel de Allende, establishing the scholarship program and adopting their daughter before settling in North Carolina.
Recently, the artist had a solo show at the local ArtsCenter, showcasing a diverse range of mediums including fibers, watercolors, charcoal, and digital art. Their work has been featured in galleries and juried shows in both Mexico and the United States. They have come to understand that nature is not just about forms, but also about life force, and that empty spaces hold a subtle energy that comes into being.
