I was born and raised in Indiana.  I am a self taught artist who has been creative and creating for as long as I can remember.  As I continue to experiment and explore the art world using acrylics/mixed media.  Creating abstract/impressionistic works, I believe one could go through an introspective and emotional journey with me in each piece.  By working thru my emotions, it allows the colors to free flow forming their shapes and unexpected styles.  My colors and forms continually take on different images each time I look at the canvas.  There's nothing like the feeling of creating something you aren't trying to control.  I spend hours and hours a day creating, and without art-I would be without.
