Profile
Other than attending a workshop for colored pencil and a few drawing classes, I am basically self taught. Working creatively gives me purpose. It is my intention to evoke positive emotions through my art, to create positive energy in our chaotic, busy world.
For 7 years I worked in ceramics. I used to carve geometric patterns into clay forms. In 2002 I decided to buy paper and colored pencils and I have been drawing ever since. Lately I have been using pastels and it is slowly becoming my medium of choice.
I am inspired when I listen to music or spend time out in nature. I love walking in the woods or sitting on a river bank.
I love sunrises and sunsets and I love places where the only outside lights are the sun, the moon and the stars, and the only sounds come from the wind, the water or the birds.
Other than attending a workshop for colored pencil and a few drawing classes, I have been teaching myself. Working creatively gives my life purpose and my goal is to use my art as a vehicle to bring positive energy into our chaotic world. I try to work from the Heart by getting out of my own way and allowing the Creative Force to inspire me. I love nature and I love music!! to stay positive I need to spend a lot of time in environments that transmit positive energy such as the natural world, music and meditation.
I do not live in a bubble however, I'm very aware of what is happening in the world and much of what is going on makes me very sad. At some point I decided that the world needs positive vibes and so I create art that sends out positive energy.
