When I create fine art it is based on many factors: My feelings, emotions, attitudes, and self awareness. Such feelings as happiness, gratitude, and love or emotions like passion, pain, hate, and anger, or such attitudes as protection, remembrance, and gratitude all contribute to the final art product. I choose media and materials based on my self awareness in the moment around me. Having expertise in more than one art style allows you to better create messages that evoke feelings and paintings that reflect your inner intentions to the viewer. Art is our true legacy in creating engagement and delivering our messages.
When I capture a photograph, it’s not simply because I was there. It is that magnificent moment when life is captured and documented in time.

Modern technology now allows for amazing perfection with the help of digital media and dynamic studio creations. Photography captures moments for sharing to the world our legacy.
