Artist statement
In 2016, I travelled to Sweden to research the artist, Hilma af Klint. During my visit, I connected with Hilma’s relative, Ulrika, and my research took an unexpected turn. Ulrika encouraged me to connect with their family medium. My conversations with the medium included instructions from Hilma about improving my practice and how to connect better to my inner voice. My experience and research has brought me new confidence and freedom that I have applied directly to my art making. I have carried this new connection to my intuition into my life as a single mother. My nightly painting helps me reflect with gratitude on my day with my daughter and reconnect with myself.
