Inspiration and Imagination

She lets each composition unfold as she creates. This playful and joyful quality is the hallmark of her ability to create abstractions. Her inspirations and subjects in her art are inspired by anything she wants them to be — whatever her imagination conjures up. She may be inspired by a person, animal, object, building, landscape, or simply a color. She immerses herself allowing color, light, shadow, form, and line to marry until they aesthetically and emotionally feel just right to her eyes, heart, and soul.
