My journey with collage and mixed media began as a way to express what lay hidden in the deepest places of my soul...places that had been wounded and longed to break their silence. Speaking in unspoken ways has long been familiar to me. Creative expressions through art, music and poetry were my constant companions. By the grace and mercy of God it is these gifts that He has used in my adult life to slowly unveil my own story and find my voice. As a young girl, the soul-ravaging experiences of sexual, physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual abuse had altered my perspective of myself and the world around me. Breaking the silence in the form of collage art and in the presence of safe souls has offered the hope of healing and restoration to my once fractured heart.
It has been during this process that I have been honored to meet and share my work with many who are traveling similar journeys. My prayer is that these "Healing Expressions" would inspire authenticity, transparency and hope in the hearts of those who have chosen the courageous path towards healing. Throughout these pages my hope is that you will know you are not alone. God's deepest desire is to set us free from the shame and the painful secrets that keep us from fully living. He will meet you where you are...just as you are. May you take the first step this day to speak what has been unspoken in your soul and begin to tell your own story.
  I am blessed to work with individuals, recovery groups and mental health professionals
as a Therapeutic Arts Facilitator, lead "Healing Expression's Therapeutic Collage" workshops, perform special music and speak at various retreats, recovery and healing events. I am also honored to work with an amazing group of woman through the Non-Profit programs
"Body Reconciliation" and "OAASIS".
My life is shared with my supportive husband of 24 years and three precious sons (ages 11,17 and 20). You may also find more of my artwork and inspirational gifts at:
