I am an artist to my core, transforming stories of memory, legacy, and human resilience into multilayered visual narratives. My work spans mixed-media art, documentary filmmaking, historical research, and transformative teaching—each practice enriching and informing the others.
As a fourth-generation creator with a background in fine art and documentary photography, I've developed a unique artistic approach that combines meticulous historical research with creative expression. My artwork integrates vintage materials, photographs, and documents gathered during extensive travels across European battlefields, concentration camps, and massacre sites. My work has been featured in multiple publications and exhibitions, including exhibitions in Houston and Los Angeles, and I've authored and contributed to numerous books.
I was a pioneer in the online mixed media art space beginning in 2010, and my international workshops and retreats have since guided thousands of artists in finding their authentic creative voice. I've witnessed remarkable transformations—participants in my workshops have become successful art teachers, gallery artists, and most importantly, confident creators embracing their full potential.
My dedication to preserving wartime narratives extends beyond art. I help families uncover and resolve their war stories through www.fortitude-research.com, transforming fragments of the past into complete narratives. I guide genealogy courses at www.historydiva.com.
Whether I'm in my studio creating multi-media artwork, guiding others through creative transformation, or documenting stories of war and resilience, my mission remains constant: to honor individual narratives with unwavering empathy and transform them into lasting legacies through multi-disciplinary creative processes.
