I never set out to become an artist.

In truth, art found me—in the quiet aftermath of a deeply personal storm.

​

I’m a recently retired Federal Civil Rights Officer, a divorced mother of five incredible adult children—three sons and two daughters—and a self-taught abstract artist who began painting less than a year ago.

​

My journey into art was not planned. In the most unexpected season of my life, painting became a refuge—a way to release pain, and reconnect with the deepest parts of myself.

​

Art became my safe space, a sacred practice through which I could feel, heal, and create without boundaries. What began as a private form of therapy has since transformed into a powerful calling to share that process with others.

​

My work is intuitive, bold, and emotionally driven. I don’t follow traditional rules or techniques—I follow instinct. Each piece in State of Mind Abstracts is born from raw emotion, textured energy, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit.

​

This gallery is a tribute to transformation through creativity. Every limited edition print is more than a painting—it’s a reflection of survival, strength, and the sacred journey back to self.
