The Essence of Full Canvas Creations
Artistic origins Inspired by Nature & Animals
Born & raised in Flagstaff, Arizona, I was blessed with an abundance of open space and wilderness to explore. The Grand Canyon, Sedona national forest & the San Francisco peaks were at my fingertips. I grew up in an adventurous, outdoorsy family for which I am eternally grateful.
​
I love being outside- I was & still am enamored by the beauty & majesty of plants, animals, the seasons, creeks, rivers, snowflakes and aspen leaves. I never had a moment I wasn’t creating something in some form. Art class was my favorite subject, but it began long before any school chair tutorials. I drew, painted, sculpted & wrote poetry- something about capturing a moment, whether it’s a photo, painting, drawing or emotional experience is so pleasing to me.
​
I like to feel & I like to remember. These human experiences unfold as uniquely as artistic creations. There's no guide book to being the perfect human, The art, much like life, begins with an empty canvas. The process is an adventure; it’s fun, difficult, playful, confusing & often painful in the most beautiful ways. We trudge onward, learning, growing & before you know it, we've filled a canvas.
​
My wish for everyone in this life is to find meaning, serenity, love & a purpose driven life that allows more room for contentment & creativity amongst the stress & menial obligations we all encounter. There just has to be room for it all.. right? I love the effect art has on me and the way I lose track of time- how silent and meditative my mind gets when I'm creating. There is a truly ethereal realm of consciousness artistry guides me into.
I'm lucky to have that experience to relax into, fall into, run to & learn from. I capture these moments, colors, shapes and emotions on canvas in the hopes of sharing them when they guide you to your feelings and perhaps connect to portions of your story.
