Hello! I believe that art and creativity is part of our everyday experience. Whether it is reading an intriguing book, engaging with art or dance performance, or having beautiful surroundings in the home, I love all forms of art and it certainly is everywhere in my life. I hope to encourage and share this concept with everyone. From the perspective of someone who loves to create, I find art a source of calm for the inner self. Thanks for coming to my page. I hope that my art inspires and interest you. Contact me anytime to start up a conversation or check out my blog for events or exhibitions that I am participating in or curating . |
