Welcome to my studio!

For decades I’ve dreamed of allowing myself to pursue my painting professionally, but I was always stopped by the inner voice that told me it wasn’t ‘sensible.’

Then, after writing my latest book, Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life’s Purpose, I finally understood how crucial art really is—not just to me, but to everyone. See, when we practice creativity we activate the entirety of our brain, which not only shuts down anxiety, but also opens up a sense of connection to…well, everything. When we really relax out of anxiety and into creativity, it often feels as if some benevolent power is working through us.

For me, making art has always felt like a portal to the divine. Now I have science, as well as lived experience, to back this up. And because form inevitably follows our way of seeing, my paintings are always about my relationship with the ineffable. With these prints and originals, I also offer some context for the pieces themselves. Even if you don’t want to buy, I still invite you to explore the site and watch some of the videos where I tell the stories of my work.

Thanks for visiting!
