I believe, much like in our favorite novels, there are chapters to life.  Each chapter represents a different stage of your life or career or relationship or any number of milestones or setbacks that you may encounter throughout your life. While I can attribute many things to what has led me here--my career as an artist begins here. These are the stories I told, these are the canvases that came to life out of a desperation to reach for the creativity that I was hiding from in my everyday life.

I found inspiration in the worlds created by others.  The vividness of the words on a page churned my imagination and allowed me to explore that world through textures. The actual book pages became the background, while the imagery the stories generated became my passion.  I had partaken in so many fictional worlds that I now wanted to see them all come to life. Each piece I crafted only drove my desire to create more.  This is the chapter of my life that I will always look back on and think, "This is where it started."
