“I am self-taught and passionate about art which is reflected in the colorful, fluid, and capricious techniques of alcohol ink. The beauty of my art delights the eye and captures the imagination of the customer. Beauty is joy.”
“By designing gallery shows, events, and providing classes by local instructors, I am building opportunities for our local communities to engage, enjoy, and participate with very talented artists, artisans, writers, and musicians.”
