About the Artist
I remember my mom placing me in front of a large piece of black felt with a pile of colored felt shapes that she had cut out. This was a before I had started school, so before I learned to write she was teaching me collage.
I considered myself an artist in grade school and knew that the academic subjects were not as important as the work I did in Art Class. I remember my mom giving me her sets of acrylic and oil paints when she went into pottery full time. I remember her giving me a book by Paul Klee and feeling liberated from the need to paint realism, finding the excitement of creating something I'd never seen before much more satisfying.
In high school I was given a job to paint a window scene in the art teachers' office and a large wall to paint a mural on. My teachers gave me an outstanding achievement award in art. I made small clay sculptures, fired and glazed them in my mom's pottery shop and sold them at school.
In Art College, a semester at the Rhode Island School of Design, a year at the Maryland Institute of Art and another semester in Manhattan at the School of Visual Arts, I learned more of the basics and found a little-used technique that I was able to make a lot of unique designs with over the next thirty-odd years.
Soon after I felt I had finished my work in this medium, the Infinity Lights and then Photoshop entered my life.
I knew early on that my artwork was a reflection of my consciousness and that it affected the consciousness of the viewers. I knew that the higher my state of being was, the more benefit I could be to others. So while I was perfecting my art techniques, I decided I should also try to perfect myself.

I've studied many religious and secular paradigms and have found a path outside them that allows me to stay thankful for being alive while trying not to take anything for granted. The gifts I've been given of this body and mind, the tools to create and the will to create, are such blessings. From my many teachers, my understanding is that we are infinitely small reflections of.jpg)
the Infinitely Great and can be a clear channel for the Universe to work through when we quiet the mind and desire to serve the Whole.
The heart can experience the constant love of creation when the effort to love all creation, without causing distress or harm, is foremost. As an artist, I feel my job is to speak, dance and illustrate those Truths that I've understood.
When I ask to be of service and I get an inspiration, I see it as my next assignment.
