It starts quite simply really....
the idea oftentimes comes from a random pile in my studio...
a blur...
then all at once...
Inspiration!
Then somehow my mood will take over...
for the most part my personality is calm and reserved however
there has always been a line of chaos in my life...
lava hidden underground if you will.
a fire in me...
Dare I say it?
Passion
When I create all of me somehow surfaces, there is no room to hold back when I find myself fully engaged in the creative process. This engagement is after all the fuel that keeps me creating.
If my art has showed me only one thing about myself it would be that I want to be fully present in the moments of my life.
Life is to be savored...
Life is to be lived...
a blur...
then all at once...

I have found that as each year passes more layers are added.
we unfold into who we truly are.
Learning when to grow and when to let go is after all the same for both art and life.
Its all in the process!
