 Painting fearlessly means creating art without inhibitions or self-doubt. It involves letting go of the fear of making mistakes or being judged, and allowing the creative process to unfold naturally.
Here are some examples of what painting fearlessly may look like:  Please join me for three upcoming painting exhibitions that showcase the themes of belonging, community, and identity through art.
Saturday, May 13, 2023 Explore the new initiative, The Art of Belonging, at the UVU Museum of Art in Orem, UT. This exhibition celebrates community and culture and opens with a tribute to BIPOC culture on May 13, running through September 16. Friday, June 2, 2023 Experience my latest works in the inaugural painting exhibition, "Sanctuary," at Veltz Fine Art Gallery in San Diego, CA. The exhibition opens on June 2, 2023, with an opening reception. Thursday, June 22, 2023 For a unique art experience, come to the opening reception of "Against My Skin" on June 22, 2023, at Spruce Spa in Holladay, UT. The exhibition features paintings made from organic materials foraged in Utah, and a sound healing meditation.  "Less is More: Finding Balance in Art Amidst the Demands of a Fast-paced Culture"
Inspired by the constant hustle of North American culture, I turn to art to create a sense of balance. My paintings are intentionally heavy and textured, yet minimalist in color, offering a respite from the exhausting pursuit of more.  Hello San Diego, get ready because I'm coming your way! I am thrilled to announce two upcoming events that will take place in California:
First up, the inaugural painting exhibition at Veltz Fine Art Gallery, featuring some of my latest works. Join me for the opening reception on Friday, June 2, 2023, from 4 - 8 PM to experience these paintings up close and personal. Following the exhibition, I am excited to host a Fearless Abstract Painting Workshop on Saturday, June 3, and Sunday, June 4, from 10 AM - 3 PM. In this workshop, we will explore the limitless possibilities of abstract painting and unleash our creativity fearlessly.

During my stay, I was enveloped by a sense of being held and supported by the island's energy, leading me to believe that Maui is a "thin place" - a place where the boundary between heaven and earth is said to be thin according to Celtic Christian tradition. Being immersed in this energy left me feeling renewed and revitalized.
