Born in Florida on Friday the 13th & sold on the black market 3 days later, I eventually rose to inner peace from the depths of abuse and depression. Short & round with an extremely high IQ and a lively sense of humor. I love music & play various instruments (to varying levels of ability.) Childless by choice with no regrets. Secure in my self, I'm not into material possessions, drama or games. My free time is more valuable to me than money. I much prefer nature & tend to shun cities. Long-time dreamworker. Married 2 days before my 40th birthday to a wonderful man described by all of the best adjectives, I live a simple life & count my blessings every day.

Artist Statement
My painting style is largely visionary. My current works are organic, a celebration of color, mysticism and serenity. My inspiration comes from the melding of opposites; peaceful scenes rendered in colors that excite the mind, the outer world of nature woven with the inner world of dream, myth and spirit. Photographically, I try to capture natural things that many rat racers tend to overlook.
Primary Influences
A unicorn poster in my 2nd grade art teacher's classroom initially fueled my desire to be an artist.
