About Me

It's been over a year now that as a Senior Designer for Nike Global Footwear, and after 10 plus years, I left to follow my dream and paint full-time. I would travel to the UK and Europe often for Nike. Now I travel there for my own inspiration and projects. It's been amazing to say the least. Truly, there are things I miss from the corporate world, but this was a heart thing and it was time. The thing I have really noticed lately is that time passes astonishingly fast. And that the things you might think are important one day, can change in an instant.Since I left Nike, I've been back to the UK, and Japan. I will go back to Europe this spring. Travel is the best inspiration!. To get out of your comfort zone and discover gives a new perspective not just on art but on life. I guess they are the same to me in many ways."Do WHATEVER you do intensely."--Robert Henri"Look for the spirit line that runs through everything."-- Robert Henri"Things being as they are, the life of an artist is a battle wherein great economy must be exercised. The kind of economy which will result in moments of the purest freedom in spite of the world's exactions."--Robert Henri-
