I am an avid admirer and creator of simple and elegant beauty and whimsy. My work touches not only the mind but, always, the heart or soul in some intimate way. I am inspired by anything Outside—from a blade of grass to the stars in the heavens and everything in between. Pure harmonies, timbres, and rhythms found in music; movement, energy, and joy found in dance; the eye-opening experience of a compelling story; and Picasso’s visual and expressive genius provide interdisciplinary inspiration that guides and propels me to embrace and celebrate that which makes us truly human.
