feel that magical pull of art and creativity in one way or another and the need to have it in our lives.
The satisfaction one gets from creating a piece of art is
incredible and unlike any other feeling. I want to help
those that feel they are not creative, do not have the
skill set, or maybe feel they do not have the time to
create art. As well as inspire those of you who already
have a love of the arts.
I want to show you the personal journey of how artists
have found and harnessed their creative voice and
ability, and what it took for them to achieve their level
of success. I want us to all learn how they were able to
find the time, hone their skills, and artistic ability; and
help motivate you to find the time, learn the skills, and
find your own unique and creative voice within yourself.
Aristotle once said " The aim of art is to represent not
the outward appearance of things, but their inward
significance." How beautifully true that is.
I look forward to going on this journey with you all and
discovering together the personal and inspirational
stories of art!

Gentle Curiosity
There is almost a magical quality about silhouettes. Our eyes
are immediately drawn to the image and to the mood or feeling
it creates. In this shot, a boy on the shore is reaching out to
touch something with a gentle hand.
Exposing a Modern Vintage Soul
This capture has important meaning to me on a
personal level. It marks the beginning of a journey in
to self portraits, which for me was a way to challenge
and confront insecurities I had within myself.
Simple Marvel of Nature
I am often awe struck by incredible beauty of
nature. A flower is a relatively common thing and we
can all readily agree they are beautiful. Yet we often
overlook the full scope of their true magnificence.
This shot is all about magnifying the marvelous
beauty of a simple flower.
