Artist Statement
My Art comes from deep within…
Such a vulnerable place, it makes me shy
​
​
It is to me, as is to:
A songwriter, whom composes a tune
A chef, who combines the perfect blend of taste
An athlete, whom pushes beyond endurance, into the zone
A dancer, whom synchronizes with an emotion
​
​
My Art flows from a combination of:
Love, inspiration and music
Moods, intuition, buried memories
A life long affair with lines
A fierce competition with myself
Meditation and creation, a labored birth
​
I make mistakes and forgive myself.
​
I share with you…. A piece of me.
