I work spontaneously from my imagination. I like my compositions to coax the viewer's sense of humor, and I enjoy giving them a giggle and a sense of joy. It gratifies me to touch the human spirit through my vibrantly colored images. I draw inspiration from my own experiences in observing and interacting with people--from the playfulness of a child, to the animal instinct we all possess, and the need to feel loved."
