“The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.” ~ Neil Gaiman

       I grabbed hold of a magical thread of creativity early in my life and have held on ever since. Visual art helps me know myself and the world around me. When life gets confusing and it seems that the center cannot hold, I create something that has not existed before and that action takes me away, gives me perspective and brings me home again.
