Spray Paint on Canvas, 36 inches X 48 inches.

My life is full of color!

I hate throwing away all my spray paint cans, so I started decorating them for fun and it started turning into a fun colorful collection!

This could be an interesting Art Therapy directive, using acrylic paints!

Colors that heal






Spray Paint on Wood, 22 1/2 inches X 42 inches.
I sold this painting to one of the best professors I've ever had. I took her Social Morality: National Issues Undergrad Class, and she was so inspirational. Turns out she fell in love with my paintings, this one in specific, she was so excited to own this painting, and it was actually the first one I sold! She will be bringing this painting to her future classes and using it to help teach methods of breathing and meditation! How cool is that?!

Positive Art in our Society.


©2010 ℕO⊻∧

The process of art-making creates an optimal experience within the artist and the viewer. In Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's book, "Flow, the psychology of Optimal Experience", he describes what he called "optimal experience"- being so involved in an activity that you lose sense of time, place, and self. Others call it "the zone". This flow experience is what keeps us coming back to our projects. However, flow as described in the book is not just "having a nice time", it is a powerful force and can contribute to better mental health, greater individual complexity and growth.

Personally, the optimal experience is one of the best feelings in this world. I can't imagine never feeling it.


Through creativity we can clear our minds of emotional poison, we can reach into the depths of our Being and find hope, love, truth, peace. We can spread this through creative expression. We can acknowledge being a live.
