Inspiration...
My work is inspired by moments that make me pause … a stream of light, a gesture of color, a quiet piece of architecture, an unexpected space.

Each piece becomes an artistic expression of my imagination, design sensibility, and forever fascination with the beauty of everyday life.
Creative Beginnings...
