I am an artist living in Richmond, Virginia. I try to align my artwork and my approach to mindfulness by painting the world as I see it. This means I try to see the world as it is and to feel gratitude for its imperfections and its beauty. I find I am most at home in my life when I am making art and so I try to do it often. It is a part of my spiritual practice. I am an elementary art teacher and I try to practice the mindset I teach my students to have: Trust the process. Look beyond the taken for granted to see possibility. And always do your best work. If you are interested in learning more about the perspective I bring to my artwork check out the term wabi-sabi.
