About Artist

As a visually impaired self-taught artist, I embark on an extraordinary journey with paint brushes and colors, navigating the depths of my inner world and unearthing the hidden treasures of the human spirit. Each stroke and hue breathe life into my canvas, creating a mesmerizing tapestry that transcends the limitations of sight. Through my art, I aspire to ignite the flames of hope, healing, and self-discovery in the hearts of others.

Guided by the intuitive whispers of my soul, I explore the vast landscapes of emotion, perception, and resilience. My visual language is not confined by the physical boundaries of my vision; instead, it flows effortlessly, uninhibited by the darkness that surrounds me. With each touch of the brush, I aim to capture the essence of the human experience, revealing the beauty that resides in even the most profound moments of struggle.

However, my art is not solely a personal endeavor—it is a powerful tool for transformation and connection. Through my journey as an artist, I have discovered the incredible therapeutic potential that lies within the creative process. In recognizing this, I have dedicated myself to teaching art healing techniques, using the medium that has become my voice to help others unlock their own creative potential and embark on their unique paths of self-expression.

My role as an art wellness professional is one of profound privilege. Guiding individuals on their artistic journeys, I witness firsthand the profound healing that occurs when paintbrushes meet canvas. In each stroke, emotions are given form and meaning, allowing individuals to communicate their deepest joys, sorrows, and aspirations. Together, we traverse the landscapes of their inner worlds, unearthing buried treasures and shedding light on the unexplored corners of their souls.

By encouraging others to embrace the creative process, I empower them to rewrite their narratives and embrace newfound perspectives. Through the tactile experience of art-making, we transcend the boundaries of verbal language and delve into a realm where the imagination reigns supreme. In this sacred space, we discover that art has the power to bridge the gap between pain and resilience, despair and hope, darkness and light.

My vision as a legally blind artist is to challenge societal preconceptions and misconceptions about disability and creativity. I strive to illuminate the limitless potential that resides within every individual, regardless of their physical abilities. Through my art and art therapy practice, I aim to foster a more inclusive and empathetic society, where the transformative power of art is recognized as a universal language that unites us all.

In my studio, I welcome individuals from all walks of life, inviting them to embark on a voyage of self-discovery, growth, and healing. Together, we forge a bond that transcends the limitations of sight, transforming the canvas into a portal of self-expression and self-awareness.

With each art wellness session, I am reminded of the profound impact that art can have on the human spirit. As a legally blind self-taught artist and art wellness professional, I am privileged to witness the remarkable resilience, beauty, and strength that emerge when we dare to create. Through my work, I aim to inspire others to embrace their inherent creativity, embracing the vast potential that resides within, and shining a light on the indomitable spirit that unites us all.

I have been featured in the Washington Post, FOX 5 DC, and CBS for the transformative work I do in our community. I have been teaching healing art practices through my courses and programs for the past 8 years. I have partnered with several companies and schools primarily in DC and Maryland.
