Personal Statement: As a visual artist/painter, I am primarily interested in color. Color excites me and profoundly influences my mood. The images I paint vary and are dependent upon what catches my attention in the moment. For that reason I take a lot of photographs. The images from my digital camera do not always show up in my paintings, but they are often displayed on my website.

I also write poetry and short stories. My intention with the writing is to someday produce a stage or screen play. The stories are from my life experience in relation to the women in my family. We are a multi-racial group of women with amazing talents, strengths and spiritual power.
