I have always been creative. However, I am what many would consider a late bloomer. I am a self-taught artist and artisan. I have been a gallery owner, gallerist and a vending artist since 11/2011. I consider myself as a mixed-media artist.

I have always been creative. However, I am what many would consider a late bloomer. I am a self-taught artist and artisan. I have been a gallery owner, gallerist and a vending artist since 11/2011. I consider myself as a mixed-media artist.
I am also an adult educator with a background in teaching business management, HRM, developmental math, finite math, psychology, entrepreneurship and much more on a collegiate level. While I have an MBA in HR and my Doctorate is in Education Leadership, I recently added a BFA in Graphic and Web Design to my resume. Soon, my wild, wide-swinging, winding pathway will make perfect sense. Stayed tuned.
I use many different mediums, such as acrylics, old sheet music, impasto, pen, pastels, clay, metal, resin and wood. For me, working in a single medium or a singular style is restrictive to my artistic process and goes against my creative nature. I consider myself as a visual artist and a mixed-media artist and even an artisan and craft
I use many different mediums, such as acrylics, old sheet music, impasto, pen, pastels, clay, metal, resin and wood. For me, working in a single medium or a singular style is restrictive to my artistic process and goes against my creative nature. I consider myself as a visual artist and a mixed-media artist and even an artisan and crafter. My work is often made of various mixed media (a lot of which is upcycled) and often incorporates things like heavy textures, old sheet music from the early 1900's, resin and metallic paints. Each idea manifests in its own individual style and in its own way. I do not fit comfortably into any box or under any one label.
I have always been creative. I am inspired by the world around me including nature, politics, spirituality, and even other artists and artisans. However, I am not sure if this is normal, but my brain is constantly coming up with new ideas. Many of my pieces are purely created as a derivative of my imagination and not directly influenced
I have always been creative. I am inspired by the world around me including nature, politics, spirituality, and even other artists and artisans. However, I am not sure if this is normal, but my brain is constantly coming up with new ideas. Many of my pieces are purely created as a derivative of my imagination and not directly influenced by external sources; this makes my work unique and also justifies why, up to this point in my career, do not make any copies or prints of my work. This may be a bad business decision bot it is what it is. I love to push the boundaries, break rules, experiment and learn from my mistakes. I learn more from these experiences when I just go with flow and am intentionally present in the moment.
