My career as a social worker gave me the privilege of witnessing the cathartic power of art, affirming how I continue to experience this as an empowering force in my own life and art practice. I believe that creativity reconnects us to our true selves, which in turn, enables us to connect with others— art being the bridge for kinship and shared understanding of the human condition. As I continue developing my art practice, I remain committed to helping others access their inherent creativity and wisdom as they continue unfolding on their paths. It is a profound journey, and I am honored to share it with you as I begin my expressive arts practice, Inner Fire.
