Why
”My work is inspired by deeply felt ideas that are worthy of visual expression. Spontaneous energy flows from my spirit to the brush, the paint, and onto the canvas. My ability to transform the unseen into tangible form, line, and color is a gift, a Blessing...and I am exceedingly grateful.”
“The highest prize we can receive for creative work is the joy of being creative.”
