Artist Statement
My passions and emotions drive me. I am an emotional being art is the best and safest way for me to express myself…
I get my inspiration from interesting and beautiful things around me, both visually and emotionally. When a feeling calls out to me I note that idea and may use it later for inspiration. Every image, every shape, every form talks to me. I play with my thoughts in my head in an image, or pattern, and then my pen and paper start that expression.
