My personal experiences with conflict, while seeking peace, beauty, and joy are reoccurring themes that move me to create.These events are as broad as social justice issues; to fond memories of Daddy listening to jazz music; or Mother growing plants and flowers; and various travels to Hawaii, Guadalajara, Merida, and Baja, Mexico.
Creating helps me to work through the conflict and brings me peace and joy. My hope is the viewer connects with a composition and their imagination takes them on a journey where they can leave their conflicts for a time, obtain some peace, see beauty, and stir up joy.
