In the artists own words:

I  have  always loved  art  and  have  always  filled  my  environments with  art  in  its many forms..  I  have  been fortunate  to travel extensively  and  meet  people  from  many  cultures   and  backgrounds.  I  have  lived  in  Illinois,  Texas,  Louisiana,  New  Jersey,  North  Carolina,  Switzerland,  Michigan  and  Florida!  Let’s  just  say my  life  has  had  a few  chapters. The one constant  was, and  still  is, the  appreciation for  joyful art  and  the artists  that create  it.
