I have always sought to spend much of my time outside in nature where I was called to find peace and tranquillity, away from the cacophony of life within four walls. My fascination with being with and watching animals and plants has not waned to this day. If not found outside roaming through forests, along sandy beaches soaking up the suns rays, gazing into rock pools in fascination, wandering through trails aloft horses, or in the company of doggies; my (other) favourite place as a child was in the art room - and not much has changed since! It's just something I do - travel between the deeply mysterious and the wildlife connection.
I create works exploring being, not doing. Peace, kindness, indulgence in the most important things. Being lost in the moment. Being able to let go. Always exalting deep contemplation and connection with the divine within my work. And divinity is in all things, so there is no limit to where this can go.
My journey ... I have been a professional artist for over 25 years, and during that time I have explored MANY different mediums and styles - you can always tell it’s my work, no matter what I create I have been told – be it drawing, painting, sculpture or jewellery. Art has helped me get through this journey of life - the art studio is where much of my healing has taken place. Much of my work is constantly growing and inspired by my experiences with various healing modalities (learn more about this below) and from when I connect to the wilds of nature.
I am an active member of the Visionary Arts Community, regularly facilitating educational workshops for regional artists. I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but have lived in the West Country for over 20 years, based in Dorset now. I have held exhibitions nationally and been featured regularly in Glastonbury, Bridport, Hampshire, London, Manchester, Buckinghamshire and Lyme Regis (to name a few) both through self-promotion and by galleries representation.
My work is loved by art lovers, animal lovers, spiritually minded, collectors and those looking to take their first steps into the world of fine art; and is featured in collections in the UK, Brazil, France, USA, New Zealand, Spain, Australia, Ireland and China.
If you would like to meet me in person to look at my art then we can arrange a time with me to meet at one of my exhibitions. My studio is not open to the public right now, and is tucked away, where I am either creating or giving online reading sessions.
