For years, I have used my camera to photograph my body. This practice started back in high school when I took a black and white film photography class. I became fascinated by the human form and could not stop looking at it since. That early curiosity led me down paths of creativity and discovery, shaping how I see myself and others today. Photography has been more than just an art form for me; it has been a way to connect deeply with my body and my story. Through self-portrai

In my work, I move fluidly between my massage and painting studios, and the two practices inform each other deeply. Recently, I completed the second pass on a large 5-foot-by-5-foot painting—a project I started about 7 months ago. Initially, I thought it was finished, but as time passed and my perspective evolved, I felt called to return, adding and subtracting layers. This process of layering—both in paint and in contemplation—mirrors the way I approach massage: each layer r

Today, I want to share how my work as a massage therapist and as a painter connect deeply, enriching both practices. I’ll also introduce one of my favorite paintings, Float Rider , which has been a constant companion in my art studio and sometimes even travels with me to the massage studio or the back seat of my car.

Now that I’m back in New Jersey, feeling the deep cold and seeing the snow outside, I find myself appreciating my massage studio even more. It’s become my warm sanctuary—a place to reconnect with my body and escape the chill. The other day, the studio was perfectly toasty, and sunlight was streaming across the table. I knew exactly what I had to do. In seconds, I was naked and lying in the light. Wow—my body needed that. Sunlight feels like a fantasy this time of year, so I j
