Thoughts for Today

I love to paint.
It is vital to my life.
I paint wherever I am.
I paint from a feminine, fresh, youthful and very passionate perspective.
Fashion is my muse. The colors of summer are my delicious palette.
The subject in my personal work is predominantly a reflection of my thoughts at the moment.
I'm fascinated by faces, the inner beauty of the woman and by the beauty that surrounds me.  This is how I choose to create my life and my art.

Sketchy Me

Whenever I travel to distant lands I often keep my sketchbook and camera with me.  I take great care to record what I see through daily sketching and photography.   I treat each day with the greatest of regard. I sketch and photograph to make the most of these moments, looking for anything sketch worthy or just something that catches my eyes in the moment.

I want to start sharing my sketches with you, all the good and not so good.

I hope this flows and random topics of my work will inspire you and give you a glance of my creative process which is involved in art making.

Happy Sketching!
