I am a life-long creative and am inspired by life, music, the abstract, and the impressionists of the past and present. The process in my creation begins with writing the words "PEACE LOVE and JOY" on the canvas or paper and then is followed by many marks and scribbles with pencils, crayons, pens, and wild paint strokes. Intuitively, the abstracts evolve on their own. I always allow time for play and experimentation enjoying the process more than the results. Various Genres of music also inspire me. All my paintings have a hidden heart for the viewer to discover.
