My art is inspired by my enjoyment of art materials and media. I employ a variety of skills developed for illustration purposes. My desire is to show the detail I observe and invite the viewer into my dialogue between organic subjects and even imagination.
   I sketch and note ideas in graphite pencil as I work on studies seeking the best view while developing compositional ideas. I find myself engaged in meticulous sketches that enable me to translate ideas and insights onto the pages of my sketchbook; then into the media that I think best represents my subjects. 
   Objects found or discovered in our natural environment inspire the subjects I select. While working as a multi media-mixed media artist, the doors of opportunity are not limited to one media, but to the media that best represent subjects as realistically as possible.
   I am curious by nature, and because of curiosity I will always be a life-long student pushing my abilities and love of the arts while expanding my skill base and techniques.
