"There is no must in art because art is free" - Wassily Kandinsky.
This quote has had a tremendous impact on my artistic endeavors, my choices in creativity, and my appreciation for the creations of others. Through my art I have learned to express issues that are important to me. Sometimes my art, like a photograph, captures meaningful moments in my life.
I feel that there are infinite ways to express oneself, the canvas is my stage for free expression.

Living in a Bubble
I have not had formal training, I have trained myself through curiosity and experimentation.
I started my own business in Berkeley, CA painting houses and was known as "THE WEEKEND PAINTER" My professional work included Faux finish, Tromp L' oeil, murals, and furniture refinishing.
I try hard to work with materials that are least harmful to the environment, and plan projects that conserve on supplies, and respect the well being of our earth.
I am a member of the Rivertown Gallery in downtown Memphis where many of my latest works are on display.
