Receive Text Updatesi love to create with charcoal and pastels, to capture and represent our inner struggle with our shadow selves .
Where do you find inspiration?I live part time in New Orleans, Louisiana. That city inspires me more than any city in the world! The living , walk amongst the dead, in a beautiful dance, creating a rich culture all its own. It’s the only place in the world where, when I leave, I miss it as if it were a loved one. There is truly no place like it on earth.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it in a collaborative art group of like-minded artists, who would help each other climb to success, but above all, who understand that art is like oxygen, and that we are stronger together than we are, standing alone.
