Artist Statement:

Art is my way of connecting with the world around me. I’m constantly inspired by the beauty in everyday life, through the people and animals I encounter in my Reiki practice, my daily walks, even moments like sitting in traffic or soaking in a hot bath. Life compels me to paint and honor this beauty.

This collection reflects that connection: water, earth, air, spirit, human form, love, and loss. When words fail, painting becomes my language. I’m deeply grateful for the chance to share these works and the emotions they carry. 

Artist Bio:

I’ve been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, finding a deep sense of peace in creating art. As a teenager, I spent much of high school painting and displaying work in a local café. After graduating, I moved to San Francisco to pursue life as an artist, but found myself immersed in the culinary world. Cooking became a new creative outlet, leading me to culinary school and a career centered around food and pastry throughout my 20s.

It wasn’t until I met my husband, also an artist, that I returned to painting. In 2019, I began my Reiki practice. Painting has become part of my daily practice. My art is deeply inspired by the energetic flow and spiritual connections I experience as a Reiki practitioner. Each painting is a reflection of the unseen world, a visual exploration of the healing and transformation that Reiki brings. I aim to capture the essence of energy, emotion, and connection, allowing viewers to experience the subtle yet profound forces that shape our inner and outer worlds. 

Through my work, I hope to offer a moment of reflection and connection to the deeper currents of life.
