Those moments when I tap into an inner "knowing" of either deep calm, beautiful peace, or an exuberance of magical, transporting joy - an experience that cracks me open to the very core of my being that reminds me that I am ALIVE - those moments that connect me to something beyond my small self and electrify my senses to a level too raw to sustain, but keep me yearning for more...These are the glimpses of exquisite BEAUTY, of pure LOVE, of POTENTIAL, AWE, and ephemeral SPIRIT that inspire my work.

 

These moments are the source of my creativity, how it all gets started, because I cannot possibly contain the intensity of the experience and it spills over into inspirations in a kind of insistence, a desperation to be shared ultimately in artistic expression. They become poetic paintings and insights translated onto canvas, or into mixed media pieces, or glass, or mosaics, all in an effort to free-flow out what cannot remain bound in my being.
