Estimated Value: $150 - $450 “We grow thin. We are peevish. We are irritable. We have fits of crying. We cannot sleep at night. We cannot defecate. We cannot digest our food. We vomit. Our heads ache. Our backs ache. We exhibit madness. We are melancholy. We touch ourselves. We cannot help touching ourselves. We grow morbid. We believe we will be struck dead. For problems of the womb, marriage is prescribed. Childbirth is prescribed. For problems of the womb, complete rest is prescribed. The absence of all stimulation. The cessation of all movement. Absolute passivity.” ("Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside of Her" by Susan Griffin. 1978)

My artistic practice has been rooted in the notion that humanity’s connection to nature is innate. The term ‘biophilia’ may be described as an inherent connection between humans and nature; one which may improve our physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive health. I have always subconsciously painted the intricate roots of my barefoot childhood, as well as the female body; that I like to imagine as Mother Nature herself. After I graduated from Art School, I found my passion in teaching art to others. My classes range from ages 4-80. My favourite class is teaching art to adults with exceptionalities. I plan on furthering my education in Art Therapy.
