“Art manifests through the heart of my ‘animal side’ stemming from Mother Earth, to which the soul is the art of creating from the Mind to my hands.
All in Spirit to satisfy my quest of consciousness with my Creator.
My artwork comes from Mother Earth, “Cholla” (a cactus from the southwest that houses small desert animals to hide under), and the shells are collected locally by me. Our local seagulls drop these precious shells behind me as I engage with them in my daily walks.
I respect Mother Earth’s gifts, and my artwork can be returned to her."
