My signature work is my illuminated “lit art.” I create in a meditative state, layering color and texture intuitively until an image reveals itself. The addition of light is integral—it activates the piece, creating depth, movement, and a luminous quality that defines my artistic voice.

My inspiration begins with tarot and meditation, but it lives in what follows—the intuitive space where meaning, color, and form begin to surface. I don’t start with a fixed image; I respond to what emerges, allowing each piece to unfold through layered exploration. My artistic journey began just two years ago when I moved to Washington—where something within me awakened. Influenced by the depth, light, and natural rhythm of the PNW, my work channels emotion, energy, and transformation.

I would use $25,000 to expand Latorias Artistry—Art in the Service of Life, increasing the reach of my lit art prints while deepening support for the rescue and release of orphaned elephants through Reteti.org. I would also help my brother—who has been a stargazer and telescope builder since youth—move closer to building his personal observatory. For me, this is about turning light into something meaningful—through art, through purpose, and through giving back.
