Her visual and literary works are both featured on this page. I remember crafting works of art out of twigs and vines in the woods as a small child, writing bits of poetry as a young girl. The need to express that unseen yet unexplainable essence that drives the creative spirit had found me. Being an artist was not something I aspired to be, it was who I was. To me art is more than a representatio
n of an image. Each creation carries an innate part of the creator. My art has always revealed a reflection of my inner self. Therefore, my work changes and evolves as I do. As life changes, so do ideas, inspirations and processes. I do not limit myself to one style, medium or concept, but rather keep myself open to respond to what inspires me. When beginning anything creative, I let inspiration find me. If I feel a connection, I know I must use that subject in my artwork. The connection brings forth a journey. That journey, that process, gives me purpose and defines me as an artist. I use the reality of the physical world to depict the unseen qualities that exist, both intimately and universally. My style, methods, and subjects may change but my driving principals have remained the same throughout my artistic career.
