Visual Art – San Francisco

I am a stay at home mom with a background in fine art and interior design. My first love has always been painting. Many of my paintings focus on the natural world of animals and how people connect with them. I believe that all of life is related, that we all have spirit animals that are our spiritual teachers. These totems are powerful talisman, that have different meanings to each individual. I love to see how different people relate to the animals I paint. I feel that my spirit animal is the grizzly bear. Through guided meditation I have had many wonderful grizzly bear encounters. Which explains why grizzly bears are a common theme in my artwork. I hope that you will find a special connection to one of my spirit animal paintings for yourself.
