Vision

As a visionary artist, I feel through color, form and motion, playing with the miraculous unleashing through my gypsy soul. The universe speaks to me and I express this cosmic essence through the prism of my imagination.

As a spiritual teacher, I consider myself a vehicle for creative energy. When I approach an individual or group to lead an experience, the important thing to me is that a placed is touched in each person; a place often guarded and unavailable, but always present beneath limiting beliefs. Through the re-experiencing of the basic creative impulse, we ignite that dormant creative flicker and experience life with a fullness, an appreciation of beauty in all forms. We grow to encompass yet another dimension where we live fully and consciously, conveying our truth and innermost world. We then become captivated by our playful spirit, our hearts shine, and we enter into a state of lighthearted gratitude…we become our own best treasure. Now that's contagious!
