Chapters Artwork

Welcome to my mind. The Inside Stories works are inspired by personal experiences, of those around me, and the world at large. Some pieces address difficult subjects that deserve more visibility of the pain and inherent strength of survival, others celebrate the highs of life. I admire and wish to pay tribute to the beauty, pride, and determination of those who dare to change the world and themselves for the better. Double meaning, sarcasm, humor, and simple, blunt verbiage layered with color and texture are a few of my methods of communicating. What a person may (literally or figuratively) read into my work may or may not be the intent, which is exactly the point and joy I find in each creation. The abstracts are largely the manifestation of releasing the noise, drama, stress, goals, and dreams in a foreign language that I cheerfully do not attempt to direct nor decipher. I just let it come, and I let it be. When I am not creating, I am the executive director of a dynamic nonprofit arts organization dedicated to arts and culture while also restoring the historic property built in 1876, along with wearing half a dozen other hats.
