hard in the paint Collage

For as long as I can remember, I must be painting, writing, drawing. It is a physical need that is a part of my soul. I have been inspired and fascinated by so many influences of fine art from the world around us, from great artists, creators, writers, even physical locations, and the energy I derive from them. I believe that images and words have inherent power – tangible and real power that the world emanates from within. I see many parallels in that power, like mirrors reflecting from above and below that of the human condition—color, light, material, earth.
