About the Artist

If your mind is open enough it will speak to you as a viewer; the Artist’s emotions at the time should step back to make room for the emotions of the observer to make a connection possible.

Abstract Art can express ineffable feelings about events, objects or people because it puts us in an open state of mind.

Even so her Art is always abstract you will find pieces which are calm, pieces which show speed and chaos right up to the edge of destruction only to be reconnected into a beautiful energetic
piece of art.
