Mixed Media Artist at Bibby Art

I create art to connect with my true essence.  It cuts through the societal programming, expressing itself through me in a joyful way. It allows me to let go of control and surrender to the painting.  I am a recovering perfectionist and have chosen to work in mixed media using collage and acrylic because it’s forgiving. I love bold colors, geometric shapes and text which I bring alive with whimsy on wood panels and paper. I am happiest when I am drawing outside the lines on the canvas and in life.
