I am a seeker of any and all things that stimulate the creative process. With all the complicated applications that are available today one has a hard time narrowing down the field and time plays a major role in the choices. For the art work the choices are much more percise as the vision is part of one's soul this is where between light, shadows and dreaming the images can happen without verbal thought. Many are tied to past knowledge and memories, the landscapes are where visual thoughts have freedom to roam. When I work on these images, whether sculptural or two dimensional, there are no sounds only the presence of moving through the space being created. For me, it is a world filled with mystery and magic and I love being there. I am my work and my work is about me. Technology plays a major part in the process and as it progresses so does my inner eye and my seeking to find new ways to express.
Principle and owner of design firm that specializes in two and three dimensional work including architectural drawings. Rekindling a fine art background and constantly researching for new ways to connect.
