My Story
This is me. I'm always painting something. Somewhere. I love painting with my hands and fingers because I really get to feel the color, the texture and the viscosity while at the same time transferring energy into the canvas or the surface I am working on. As far back as I can remember, I have always been in search of colors and surfaces (including walls) to paint on.
I was born into a multi-lingual and multicultural family and grew up in culturally and linguistically diverse Switzerland. Besides always having had an inquisitive mind, my awareness of different realities was broadened at a very young age as culture, diversity, creativity and spirituality became my focus, both on a micro-cosmic level with my family, as well as on a macro-cosmic level while interacting with my environments as I had the opportunity and the fortune of travelling extensively throughout my life.

Trusting In The Void - 2016
I have always been fascinated by how different cultures use art to record history, communicate, nourish the mind and the Spirit while also connecting with the Divine, "all that is." The one constant passion and fascination throughout my life has been color and the use of colors, on both a creative and an energetic level. I am continuously mesmerized by the ability to create new constellations of possibilities and realities and am endlessly intrigued by how different colors feel due to their hue and their energy.
Portal Into Your Universe - 2018
When I was seventeen, my family and I left rainy Switzerland to live in sunny California. Although this transition was far from easy, I soon noticed that I would be blessed by endless creative possibilities. After finishing high school in California, I embarked on a four year journey to college, graduating from San Francisco State University with my B.A. in Speech and Communication. A few years later, when I was looking for a way to combine my three passions, creativity, psychology and spirituality, I found the Art Therapy profession. Wanting to augment my career choices, I obtained my M.A. in Clinical Art Therapy and Marriage, Family and Child Therapy. In addition to having worked in the mental health filed for twenty years, I also providing Art & Drumming as Mediation workshops. I also continue to create my own art and enjoy exhibiting my work in different venues.
