Art has always been a very important part of my life because it allows me to experiment with different ideas and feelings visually. I don't have a favorite medium; I enjoy woodwork, painting, linoleum block carving, pencil and pen drawing, and pottery. I love to doodle and always keep sketch books with me. Art transcends voice. It enables audiences to engage with the artist, and with themselves, in a unique way. I love wandering through museum exhibits, both for personal inspiration and new ways to connect and understand the world.
