“As a closet, would-be artist most of my life and without formal art education, I dabbled at art in different forms over the years and actually sold some pieces. I began taking art classes and workshops in 1998 and have continued to do so. My focus has been on design, composition and color theory by means of watercolor, collage, acrylic and experimental mixed water media techniques. I relish in creating new textures and in combining elements in new and unexpected ways I relish in bringing the essence and energetics of sacred geometry to life in design, color, shape and proportion;  I love incorporating symbolic meaning at the same time.”
