Three years ago she discovered pastels and that became her medium of choice. She has created over 140 works of art since 2015.

She is inspired by the old masters. She has been accepted into more than 100 juried shows and I’ve won over 80 awards. Her art is a form of therapy and also a way to inspire others with her inspirational miraculous story.
