My art is the celebration of the unique . I create for those you find wonder in the authentic - every canvas , every wall , I paint is a testament to the fact that we can be different but never less . Living my life in full color has taught me that our flaws are actually where the light gets in I don’t just paint murals or pictures. I paint the resilience and vibrant souls of the life’s in the world around me.
Where do you find inspiration?Mostly, I’m inspired by the people I meet and in their reactions - When they see my slightly flawed viewpoint, At 58 I am not interested in perfection but in celebration of the world around us.
What would you do with $25,000?Embrace the phrase “ Have Paint Will Travel” I would love to take a breath and learn more about the world around us- with my own eyes not through a screen.
