This is one of my daily doodles this week! It surprised me as it turned out to be its own bona fide work of art. I created it in my 2023 Moleskine sketch agenda book. I began with the neurographica method of creating shapes and lines. In the process what emerged were abstract shaped hearts. I pulled out the heart shapes through the vivid reds and purples. It was then evident to me that this was a representation of myself and my 3 sons. It was a unexpected Mother’s Day gift to myself.

MessageMy inspiration to create visual art comes from my Roman Catholic Traditional Faith, family, nature, community, and current contemporary subjects.
I value experimentation in my creative process. I engage with materials that ignite my imagination. Visions, dreams and contemplation play a strong role in my innovative approach.
I collaborate with artists, I enjoy working with ideas on public art projects that positively effect people and communities.
Additionally, I use typography and graphic design elements in my work.
I believe words are alive—imbued with thousands of years of meaning.
Letters express their own kind of symbology and speak to every person uniquely.
In my creating I endeavor to make the invisible visible.
