“The best thing about being an artist is how much you really see things.”
I am so fortunate to notice so much, to reflect on what I see and sometimes to transmit my vision to others.
When I have managed to produce a successful image from what I’ve seen , when it is shared with others I feel complete.
Over the course of my career, part-time for many years and now full time I have been able to share and give and sell a lot. And I have a lot more work to do.
