Your like water for my soul when I get thirsty.

About Me


I'm an artist and an educator. I'm inspirational. I'm clumsy. I enjoy working w/ photo's, printing (silk screens and plates) and drawing to express my thoughts. Enjoy: laughing, discovering new perspectives, traveling, reading, meeting new friends and keeping close to old ones, holding hands, and using my imagination.
Word of the wise...
There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And, dance like no one's watching.
OR.............................................
run a muck, pash and dash, and live life to
the fullest......... and most importantly
HAVE NO REGRETS!!
