I was truly blessed to have been raised in a family that valued art and provided me with the opportunities that nurtured my creative soul. My earliest memories of making art begin around age 5. This passion of art has continued throughout my life and has taken me down roads I never expected. Having created something that brings visual beauty to our world has brought me great joy but having been given the opportunity to create pieces that commemorate the life of a loved one, the celebration of a special event or accomplishment or the creation of a piece that will hold a treasured and heartfelt memory are what brings me the most immense joy and fulfillment of all. |
