S T O R Y T E L L E R T H R O U G H C O N T E M P O R A R Y A R T & D E S I G NI began painting with watercolors in the hospital, as a child dealing with a hereditary blood disorder. Since then, I’ve used watercolor painting as a form of meditation creating art performances and immersive experiences around the world. From intimate classes in botanical gardens to luxury wellness retreats, my classes entitled Inner Discovery Through Art, combines botanical teas and art, inviting people to explore the relationship between creativity and self discovery. Explore my original art, botanical teas and painting experiences below.

Original Watercolor Painting from the Painting a Marathon collection. This painting illustrates the contemplation before decided to begin a hard task. The cocoon that keeps us comfortable wheter it be our environment, our habits, or the people we’re around has to be lifted in order for us to embark upon a new life. This phase shouldn’t be overlooked. It too is beautiful, but there comes a time when it’s time to grow.

This painting is a study of the gladiolus, an exploration of its color, shape, and soft unfolding petals. The study illustrates the balance between strength and delicacy. Each brushstroke lingers on the flower’s natural architecture, observing how it rises with intention while still holding a sense of grace and vulnerability.
