Meet the Maker
From the moment I could hold paintbrush, I knew that art was my true calling. Born into a long line of strong and creative women, I'm proud to be an artist following the footsteps of those who came before me. Surrounded by art and music throughout my childhood, I was captivated by the endless possibilities of self-expression and the ability to create something truly unique.
As a passionate artist, I find inspiration in the world around me, capturing the essence of life's most treasured moments on my canvas. It all begins with a photograph, a frozen moment in time that I breathe new life into, transforming it into a vibrant and captivating work of art. My mission is to take that snapshot and infuse it with colors that dance and sing, creating a visual experience that leaps off the wall and into your heart.
I love bold, vivid colors that energize and uplift the spirit. Whether it's a striking portrait, a beloved pet, or the beauty of nature's flora, I pour my heart and soul into every artwork, infusing it with my passion and attention to detail.
For me art is more than just decoration - it's a way to infuse creativity into your home, transforming it into a sanctuary that reflects your unique personality and style. It's about surrounding yourself with pieces that resonate with your soul and bring you joy each time you enter a room. By adding a touch of my artistry to your space, you're inviting a sense of wonder and inspiration into your daily life.
I invite you to explore my gallery and embark on a visual journey where photographs come alive and colors ignite. Let my art be a window into my creative world, where passion meets imagination, and where every brush stroke tells a story. Together, let's create a space that celebrates life's beauty and fills your heart with joy.
Thank you for joining me on this artistic adventure.
With Color-filled regards,

How it’s Made
1. Canvas
Material: 2.5 x 2.5-inch stretched canvas.
Preparation: The canvas is prepped with a layer of gesso to ensure a smooth surface that enhances paint adherence and vibrancy.
2. High-Quality Paints
Golden Fluid Acrylics: Known for their high pigment load and smooth consistency, I use these paints to achieve bold, vibrant colors.
Pigment Quality: The finely ground pigments ensure excellent coverage and lasting vibrancy.
Consistency: The fluid nature of the paints allows for intricate details and smooth blending, perfect for small-scale works.
3. The Creative Process
Sketching: Each piece begins with a light sketch directly on the canvas to guide the composition.
Layering Paint:
Base Layer: I start with a complementary base color that adds depth and richness to the finished piece.
Main Layers: Using Golden Fluid Acrylics, I build layers of color to create forms and bring the subject to life.
Textures and Details: I use techniques like dry brushing, glazing, and stippling to add texture, dimension, and fine details.
Final Touches: Highlights, shadows, and intricate details are added to ensure a polished, cohesive look.
4. Magnet and Display Options
Magnet Backing: Each 2.5 x 2.5-inch piece is equipped with a strong magnet, allowing it to be displayed on metal surfaces like refrigerators or magnetic boards.
Versatility: The small size makes it perfect for gifts, gallery walls, or functional art displays.

Protection: A final varnish is applied to safeguard the painting from dust, UV rays, and other environmental factors. This step also enhances the colors, ensuring the artwork looks vibrant for years to come.
