Working from a home studio has afforded me the great opportunity to homeschool my son and pursue my passion for creating art. By studying other artist and evolving my style, I am constantly humbled and impressed by all the art and intensity around me. I channel this into my paintings, sculptures, and written word so I can express the impact of all of this. When I am not creating or educating, I am exploring with my family.
