I'm thrilled to share with you the inspirations behind my contemporary art pieces, so many of which find their roots in the breathtaking beauty of La Jolla, California.
Living in such a picturesque town, surrounded by the majestic ocean views and vibrant coastal life, I can't help but feel a profound connection to my surroundings. Each stroke of my palette knife carries with it the essence of La Jolla's beauty, infusing my artwork with a sense of wonder and tranquility. I have not only lived in La Jolla, but I have raised my girls here and spent quality time with my husband. I also became a business owner in La Jolla so this town is close to my heart.
One of the aspects of my creative process that I cherish the most is the use of my palette knife.
Its unique texture and consistency allows me to express myself in ways that traditional brushes simply cannot.
As I glide the knife across the canvas, it evokes memories of a simpler time – mornings spent buttering toast for my two beloved daughters.
Those moments of simple joy, shared with my daughters, remind me of the importance of family and connection. Growing up, I always longed for a sister, and now, seeing the bond between my daughters, I feel a sense of gratitude wash over me. It's these emotions, these memories, that fuel my creativity and infuse each piece with depth and meaning.
Having an art gallery here in La Jolla has been a dream come true.
It's not just a space to display my art; it's a sanctuary where I can share my vision with others who appreciate the beauty of this town as much as I do. I invite you to visit and experience firsthand the inspiration that La Jolla has to offer.
Thank you for allowing me to share a piece of my world with you. Until next time, keep exploring, keep creating, and always find beauty in the world around you.
Artfully Yours
