Intuitive Art & Soulful Coaching
My Artistic Journey
My work doesn’t begin with a plan. It begins with color, texture, fragments, and marks that don’t seem to belong together. I follow what catches my attention. I zoom in, crop, layer, and respond. Slowly, something begins to reveal itself.
I don’t decide what the piece will be. I discover what’s already there. Faces, figures, botanical forms, imagined landscapes, and symbolic shapes often emerge in ways I couldn’t have predicted. The process is intuitive, but it’s not random. It’s a practice of noticing.
Creating this way feels like meditation. It asks me to slow down, trust what I’m seeing, and allow the work to unfold in its own time.
I work across many mediums — collage, alcohol ink, watercolor, acrylic, needle felting, and digital. Each one offers a different way of seeing, a different entry point into the same process.
I’m always learning. Always experimenting.
Always following what wants to emerge next.
No two people experience these pieces the same way. Some see images immediately. Others discover something entirely different. There is no single interpretation.
Each piece is an invitation to look closer, to stay a little longer, and to let your own imagination participate.
This is my practice of Emergence.
It’s not about making something.
It’s about seeing what wants to be revealed.
The Gallery at Salon Mystique
In 2021, my husband and I moved to Dripping Springs as brand new empty nesters. Not long after, I was unexpectedly given the opportunity to curate The Gallery at Salon Mystique. It was perfect because I was up for a challenge and little did I know, I was on my path to self-discovery.
In May 2022, I was given the opportunity to curate and exhibit my work at The Gallery at Salon Mystique at Belterra Village in Dripping Springs.
For the first time, I showed a large body of work — over 150 pieces — and hosted three opening receptions over the course of the year.
One of my magazine collage pieces was featured on the cover the Dripping Springs City Lifestyle Magazine's Style Edition.
What began as a personal exhibition quickly evolved into something more.
I started inviting other artists to share the space. Over time, 35 artists exhibited their work, and the gallery became less about me and more about creating visibility and opportunity for others.
I didn’t have a clear plan. I followed what felt right.
Looking back, this was the beginning of something much bigger.
What began at Salon Mystique didn’t end there.
Through that experience, I connected with other gallery owners in the Dripping Springs area. In May 2023, seven of us came together to create a weekend Gallery Tour — a collaborative effort to bring more visibility and energy to the local art community.
It worked.
That momentum led to a bigger question: What does this community actually need?
The answer was clear — art, community, and connection. That became our mission.
My husband and I founded the Dripping Springs Art League (DSAL), which became a nonprofit in the fall of 2023, with our first official event that November. He now serves as President, while I lead the creative vision and community experience.
Now, three years in, what started as an idea has grown into a thriving community of over 275 members and 18 partnerships with local organizations that host and support our events.
At its core, the DSAL exists to create space for artists to connect, to share their work, and to be part of something larger than themselves.
This, too, is part of my practice of Emergence.
Not just in what I create, but in what I help bring to life for others.
