Great lines, beautiful colors, dramatic lighting, it is what makes my day.  The world around us is filled with beauty and drama, and I want to capture it and hold on to it for one second longer by using my pens, paints, and brushes.  I was lucky to grow up with parents who loved the arts and exposed their 4 children to them be it thru listening to music, singing in the house, camping in a wooded park or taking us to one more museum or church.  It is funny, when you are a kid there comes a time when you just can't bare the thought of one more book of poetry, or paintings or trip to a museum.  And then when you are alone, and on your own you find comfort in these little seeds your parents so carefully planted.  I paint because it makes me feel alive and it preserves that moment in time.
