My art reflects my love of life; people,nature, simple everyday things that inspire me to move!
Compositional elements are found everywhere in the world; patterns in nature, unique proportions in the anatomy of the portrait, the figure, gestural movement of branches and trees, the breadth of atmospheric perspective and layers of air in space.
Countless reasons creativity helps facilitate growth; architecture, musical composition and poetry.
​To move, dance, paint,and play. This is what inspires me to be an artist.
