Be kind to each other and hate less.

I’m a visual artist my work is frequently inspired by nature. My daily walks let me commune with nature from watching the ducks interact to observing the pattern of the bark on a tree. Like an improvisational Jazz musician I compose on the fly using pattern, repetition and texture to create my forms. I have my BFA in drawing and painting and my MFA in sculpture. After I graduated with my BFA I started an apprenticeship with the sculptor Mike Cunningham I worked for him for 2 years then started my MFA program. Then after I graduated with my MFA I worked for Richard Davis for about 11 months. Now I'm working as an artist and teacher.
