I have been interested in photography and art for over thirty years. I graduated with an AA, (Highest Honors) in art. However, I felt that nothing was perfect! I began to focus on another career path, receiving a degree in English Literature with a proficiency in French translation. I did not pick up a brush and paint for more than fifteen years. I was redirected to this artistic path after having an accident. I turned off a single step and fell, tearing the ligaments on both sides of my ankle and ripping a piece of bone off the top of my foot. Some say that must have been a horrible accident. I believe it was wonderful because it all worked together for good. It was nearly two years before I would fully recover. No time was wasted. I began painting again. I believe my studies in literature and language provides me with an insight into other cultures and makes my work "unique". My art tells a story. People can see the same piece of work and it transports each one to a time or place of their own. I really enjoy the fact that so many people can relate to different places and experiences through one piece of art and it touches their hearts. I feel blessed!
