As a photographer, I now look at things differently, through a different lens, and try to capture a certain moment in time or the spirit of a place. It may be a detail of something larger, like small intricate mosaics spiraling up a column on the façade of a centuries-old church, an architectural detail of a historic Capitol Hill rowhouse, or raindrops on petals. Flowers, insects (especially bees), and glass also inspire me to look for something fresh or unusual.

My artist pursuits now are enriching my life more than I imagined they would. I've confirmed my belief that fulfillment and financial success are both accessible to artists of all stripes and skills, and finding your unique voice and style are key ingredients to that success. 

Art gives me an outlet for my desire to express my creativity and love of beauty in life.

People noted my early paintings would brighten and energize a space in an uplifting way , so I adopted that as my style: playful, uplifting, light-hearted, with bold strokes and colors. Using huge amounts of white paint to brighten things up.
