I’ve been a psychotherapist for twenty-five years and for fifteen of those years, I’ve been painting. I’m privileged to hear the most intimate and sacred stories of people’s lives—stories of fear and courage, despair and hope, healing and pain. Stories that join with my own to find visual expression in the figures that emerge on the canvas.

All art tells a story. Figurative work offers both a mirror and a narrative to get in touch with ourselves and the person standing next to us. It’s not just about what’s there on the canvas. It’s about what’s happening in your life as you take the painting in and what was happening in my life as I painted it. So, it’s biographical in a sense, for each of us. All there in these faces and figures that invite our lives to intersect.
