Finding the Trailhead
I mixed colors for the first time when I was 9 years old. I was drawing a rainbow with chalk outside, and suddenly it began to sprinkle rain.
Chalky pastel pink became bright red when the raindrops hit the pavement... and then mixed electric orange, and lemon yellow... I stepped into another world and I could feel the colors coursing through my heart.
That's when I knew I was an artist. And I love visual art in any form.

Paint (and painting) speaks, thread listens, clay attaches, and even a shoelace can have artistic merit.

- Neptune
- Door knobs
- Moon cycles

- Essence, presence, and elusiveness of the soul
- That one particular feeling when you glow because someone is talking about what makes them glow
- How a person's eyes will change depending on the light of the day a

- Essence, presence, and elusiveness of the soul
- That one particular feeling when you glow because someone is talking about what makes them glow
- How a person's eyes will change depending on the light of the day and dusk
- Mythology, Folklore, Religion, Activism
My creativity is a faucet running; if I don't create, I'll drown.
