Pearl S. Buck, (1892-1973), recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 and of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1938, said the following about Highly Sensitive People:

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:

A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.

To him... a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating." -Pearl S. Buck

This is only the beginning! Thats my new motto on life. Born in California, raised in Louisiana, mother of a blended family of seven children, with finally enough time on my hands to devote to discovering myself through my artwork. Each painting and drawing I do, is a living part of me, that now I wish to share with those who can enjoy and appreciate the effort and joy each piece brings me.

I love to draw, take photos, play with photos, write .. you name it. Also Love to look at any forms of art or literature. All of it is a great way to relieve stress from everyday life. Would love to draw or take photos professionally...which is now beginning!

Artist Statement
Life is too short to waste wondering what you could be or do, Just be yourself and others will like you or hate you. Artwork is the same way, never try to be something you arn't when you are working on any art form or media. I am in everything I do.

Primary Influences
Myself, and my friends are my primary influences. Past that, my southern heritage and community influence me both positively and negatively.
