Art: Art history, drawing, painting, graphic design, museums, galleries, I love it all!! My most favorite artists are Claude Theberge, Peter Max, Itzchak Tarkay, and Toulouse Lautrec. I paint mostly in acrylic and draw mostly with charcoal. As far as my artwork goes, when it comes to painting I absolutely love, love, love, love, love, color; I love exploring color combinations and how color and the combination of colors can convey mood and emotion. In regards to drawing, I love getting my fingers dirty and sooty with charcoal. For me drawing with charcoal is a fundamental yet sensual experience. There’s something so spiritual about the creative process don’t you think?

Photography: I love taking photographs with my trusty Nikon D60! I like photographing still life (mainly statutes) and people (especially couples and eccentrics). With the help of Photoshop, photography has helped develop my abilities as an artist and has deepen my sensibilities of the world around me and my place in it.

Cooking: I love to cook! I Just adore entertaining friends and family and showing how much I love and appreciate them by preparing a great meal. I am in the process of learning how to prepare healthier versions of some of my favorite dishes; however, being from the south were bacon grease, butter, and pure cane sugar reign supreme, change is proving to be a tad difficult (psychologically, that is). lol
