I grew up in a highly artistic family, so initially, I would like to thank my parents. I began my artistic career in creative writing and language arts, attaining a BA in English Literature, seven years professional experience as a book editor, and scattered but well-received works of fiction and poetry. I have also pursued music and produced my own CD on which I played all instruments and wrote all of the music -- not my strongest art, but a fun diversion. I've found the visual arts to be my favorite passion. I really do have a voice, I just don't always know which language to speak. My art springs forth from joy. I am an optimistic and playful person; my art tends to be as well. As a creative person, I try to absorb life, run it through the washing machine in my brain, and fabricate a new interpretation of it; sometimes figuratively, sometimes abstractly, sometimes whimsically, sometimes a poem, painting, or song. I see maturation with every successive work I produce. I have always been a fast learner, and I believe there is at least one masterpiece in my future. If I'm anything, I'm optimistic.
