April 4- May 2

With my art, I bring the invisible world of imagination into a visual expression of a universal truth. Beauty. My goal is to create the visions of my true nature sharing my spiritual journey on canvas of inner visions. With art, I desire to provoke a "feeling" as well as a mere object of beauty. I intend to connect to the observer that " feeling" which lifts me and brings me joy. Enjoy the viewing and experience my bliss of creativity.
