Art has been my passion and Source since the early 1990's. I've been painting, mainly with mixed media, mostly on large canvasses. Sometimes on paper, always from the heart with passion. On this website I am showing a selection of my works, starting with the most recent years, the series Grief Works. After losing my partner, and my mother, I used the one way I know to survive the hardest time ever: by giving form and colour to my experiences. Slowly but gradually I trotted a new path in life and found some meaning in the excruciating pains.
