Inspiration, move me brightly…
​After my stroke, reconnecting with creativity felt out of reach. Then, on May 22, 2023, an unexpected concussion brought everything to a halt—and, in a surprising way, opened something new. After days of rest and quiet, I began taking short walks, slowly re-entering the world. As the mental fog lifted, my thoughts drifted to a forgotten set of watercolors from a class that never happened. I decided to simply play with color, shape, and line.

​That moment became the beginning of my Concussion Sketchbook—an exploration rooted in curiosity, looseness, and the freedom to create without expectation. From the beginning of my art journey, my practice has been in constant motion, evolving and unfolding over time. Lately, I’ve embraced a more interpretive approach, allowing curiosity to lead the way. Exploring larger formats and new mediums has opened a space for play, experimentation, and freedom—where the work can wander, discover, and arrive exactly where it needs to be.
What started as gentle experimentation has since grown into a deeper, more confident practice and the discovery of my signature style.

Pages from My Concussion Sketchbook
The Concussion Series
This body of work is inspired by those first pages of the Concussion Sketchbook, where I learned to trust the process and embrace creative play. All proceeds from the Concussion Series are donated to the LoveYourBrain Foundation in support of individuals and families impacted by brain injury.
​What I’m Exploring Now
Larger formats, new materials, and mixed media as I continue to stay curious—looking at the brain and themes related to stroke and recovery. I’m also exploring how this visual language can translate into collaborative designs, such as the thank-you notes for AHA.

​My work continues to be guided by presence, curiosity, and transformation.
