The name of my company is E.Y.A.Y.A. which stands for Embrace Yourself As You Are.

My images are diverse, just as we are, and I believe they express the joy and uniqueness found in embracing yourself as you are. Weaving positive messages of diversity and self-empowerment into my creations is a central goal of my artistic practice. I believe that art has the power to shape and enrich our lives and I strive to create art in my own studio practice that aligns with these themes that are so important to me personally. I love it when my art can help provide a daily reminder for my collectors of the joy of expressing their true selves. I approach art from an organic perspective, creating many of my original pieces in a mixed media format incorporating fabric and other recycled materials. Much of the art emerges naturally when I interact with the materials I work with. A natural extension of my artistic studio practice are the range of interactive creativity workshops I host to empower individuals to rediscover their own innate creative spark.

I am represented by the Artist’s Undertaking Gallery in Occoquan, Virginia, the Hidden Julles Cafe in Haymarket, Virginia and the Art First Gallery in Fredericksburg, Virginia. My work is also available through my online shop.
