CRESCENDO OF THE SOUL

"Although I use a variety of textured materials and processes throughout my work, my methodology always stays the same. Envisioning the ending of each piece in a frame and creating a cohesive image and feeling allows me to provide something that people can embrace. In simpler words, I start from the end and work backwards to the beginning.

I want people to receive my art with an open mind.  Each image and message is meant to evoke a strong opinion or reveal deeper emotions within my viewers.

My collections are held by well-known names like Maya Angelou and Esther Rolle. Although my pieces are spread out across the country, my collectors are diverse on many levels.  An appreciation of art that reflects social and political issues of the day permeates each expression."
