My work invites the viewer to take a closer look and to become intimately acquainted with the subject or moment I am trying to capture. My method is a way of slowing down. Nothing is final. In the end I hope to offer you a view of how I see the world and it's beauty and grace.

Enjoy!
"follow only Beauty & obey only Love"

I find myself in a constant battle to keep alive the "child within". She allows
me to keep looking outside the box. She forces me to level down to simplicity
and always provides me with a sense of wonder...

I have always considered why we draw, paint, sculpt, create. It is a basic human need. My artwork celebrates the beauty I find in the world around me. Often I am inspired by nature, especially plants and animals. They have innocence that holds the heart.
