My spiritual journey started when I hit my late 20's. I was working in corporate America, in an unsatisfying marriage, and was very disillusioned with my adult life. I was drinking my life away every weekend, planning for my next party, NOT MY LIFE.!
At about twenty-nine, I got introduced to self-improvement and positive thinking, I really got excited! I heard you could have fun and make a living with your God-given gifts and abilities, so I jumped in. I went from agnostic to believing in God – but this Jesus thing – I was still very skeptical – which lead me into new age along with self-improvement, all the while reading my Bible as well.
In ’97 I left my life in Boston to NYC and explore what God had for me. My plan was to be a voice- over artist. I also got my pictures taken to possibly do some print modeling and I took singing lessons, all the while doing my art just for fun on side. I found a very small studio in the East Village, which was so fun to actually live by myself for change. I would take the next 2 years feverishly journaling and reading a whole host of material like; self-improvement, the Bible, new age and anything in between. I worked in the service industry struggling to make a living. I finally found myself jumping for joy & the same time distraught with tears…I found God to be a real living being, talking to me and working with me plus at the same time I got a deep revelation of the power of words. But, I also was convinced we were making it “ALL UP.” Because, as I would journal, a lot of what I was putting on paper was coming to fruition instantly and or in about three months, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
So off I jumped again in ’99, giving away virtually everything! I started to travel and profess the things I wanted to come to pass, believing infallibly that everything I said and thought would come to pass sooner rather than later.
I ended up maxing out all my credit cards and not being able to pay my hotel bill, so I spent a week or two in the Florida county jail. I bailed myself out and paid my bill…and started over yet again. I traveled back to New Jersey and lived with my family.
By then I had been to enough churches to convince me that it WAS all about Jesus, but I just couldn’t find where I fit. I was super excited about God and truly believed in a supernatural God and that He loved us and healed us and wanted us to live a full abundant life in everything. I finally got invited to a ‘born again’ Christian Church in NJ where I had been living with my sister and it was there that I raised my hand for Christ in response to an altar call.
So finally honoring the gift I was given...
In 2000, I quite literally ‘ran into’ this brush pen and started drawing, everything I drew came out words and phrases because of my deep revelation of the power of words. This is what sparked my specific style of art; so hence the birth of my Art Ministry. I felt as though people who looked at my artwork long enough, the biblical truths that were contained there, just might be what they needed to heal, COLORME Art Spa became my SILENT ART MINISTRY.
As a born again Christian, I help people experience the Word of God through art. My prayer is that by spending time creatively over Scripture it becomes a mediation, therefore, opening people up to the real, true, loving, living God.
I currently own and operate a company called ‘COLORME’ Art Spa. I teach my style of art and help people explore their own inner artist to experience a more joyous fuller purpose filled life. Using my art, people & organizations have been able to raise money and have fun at the same time giving an interesting twist to any party or event.
I now live in Scottsdale, AZ with my loving husband and 2 wonderful children.
