THROUGH art & design I express myself. Life gives us so much inspiration, and For me navigating the vast experiences of my 57 years through art & design has been everything from joyful to cathartic. I approach my work with a blend of professionalism and raw creativity, and what RESULTS is always something to celebrate. In design I use my art. I paint lots of subjects in styles both real and ethereal. I paint large scale all the way down to tiny canvases, whatever my mood or assignment. What one feels from my work means everything to me. Collaborating to give my client more than what they expect is my goal, and working this way the past 34 years has been super rewarding.

"Abstract art speaks in a language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from one person to the next. This particular piece spoke to me and connects in parallel with my mood and personality. As I stare at it, I see my goals and destiny upon the horizon ever so close, but also so far away.The path to get there is often unclear, foggy, or hazy. Unsure of the pathway or waves in front of me, but a reassurance of solid ground and
salvation awaits me.
...Love every class I've taken from you!
