Piece description from the artist
This painting recalls what I would see when trying to take a nap as a child. The curtains would become dark and then bright, and I’d wonder what was happening behind them. My mother explained it was the sun going behind a cloud and then reemerging. This allowed me to envision not only the, sun, but everything it shone down upon, and so I would lay in bed and imagine the world around me through the portal of my printed curtain.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and she is represented by Galleri Urbane in Dallas, TX.

Her work is a visual exploration of the mental, physical, and physiological mutations we experience through aging, moving to new places, traveling, changing acquaintances, and learning new things. It follows the deeply individual steps along a universal path and examines how our experiences influence who we are.
