Art was her heritage and became her passion.

Artist Statement
"The purpose of my work is to capture the feeling or the spirit of the animal with a simple glance. I’m driven by understanding wildlife’s natural beauty and how the simplicity of one brush stoke can depict that.
My art is continuously evolving after my travels and research. I thrive on excelling, research and understanding the history of the master artist while adding my own style. Every painting I paint teaches me something, either about art or the animal, and what a gift from God both can be. My goal for myself and my students are to make a breath-taking piece of art."
