Artist Statement My dad was an engineer professionally, but has the heart of an artist. He got me started drawing and painting from the point I could hold a paintbrush. No matter how old I was or what I was doing, I was always studying and honing this craft. In college, after an attempt at medicine, I realized that there was something deep inside my soul that was telling me I needed to create art. So, I ended up with a BA in Art from The University of Texas, where I spent some of my favorite years of life. Getting lost in distractions after college seems to be a common theme for me. After having lived in China for seven years with my husband, I was diagnosed with clinical depression. It was only after coming out of that terrifying experience healed and renewed that I went back to my art. My husband and I are now back in the states with our 2 year old son and I'm very gratefully creating art without fear in a tiny corner of our bedroom that is my studio for now. There is much rejoicing in pain, there truly is beauty from ashes.
