Art is a vehicle for me to connect to something personal and meaningful. From a very young age, I have had a passion and flair for fashion. I create paintings with personality in which curiosity and mystery are key ingredients. Being a devotee of black and white and the 50 shades in between, I am deeply inspired by the dramatic impact of light and dark as well as the interplay of curves and hard edges. Sources of never-ending fascination, art and fashion serve as a mirror that reflects the society we inhabit and the values we hold. My acrylic paintings portray refinement, sophistication, glamour, romance, elegance and modernism. Whether it’s a composition of a ball gown or a chic figure “jumping for joy”, my paintings present an interesting portrait of myself. Spontaneity, balance and harmony reign as masters in my world. Currently, I show monthly with the Artists Guild Gallery/Boca Raton Museum of Art and my paintings are featured at the “501 Restaurant ” at the Boca Raton Resort and Club exhibited by Sponder Gallery. This summer my artwork was published in “Spotlight”, a contemporary international art magazine.
