I have been most influenced by Rumi and Hafiz. I am influenced by my everyday experiences.I create to give voice and  language to express that for which there are no words. I have an eclectic body of work to visually portray different aspects my intra and interpersonal experiences and relationships.  I have many different styles and media to express feelings, thoughts, and stories that surround my internal and external experiences. I believe the stories we have about ourselves and each other impact and propel choices we make in relationships on both the micro and macrocosmic levels. The thoughts and feelings that form the stories and experiences in turn influence how we respond and/or react to life each day. These stories are wrapped around my heart through the connections I have made with people. The creative journey for me is all about falling in, sinking down, awakening and finding consistency within the chaotic inconsistencies of the multiplicities in the mind and life.
