A passion for music is my biggest influence artistically. I am always looking for new ways to express my art..I like to work in different mediums and tend to go in one direction for chunks of time.Right now, I am working in pastels, and I love the immediacy of the medium! I am also exploring collage, and remain very intrigued with the process and medium. This art form goes back in time and I really enjoy seeing that work and being inspired by it. I love to connect with others who are in the arts; whether it is as a visual artist, a musician, a dressmaker, or any form of creativity. I believe we are all connected in some way through this channel of self-expression.I love looking at all of the varied professions on LinkedIn, and wish there were some way to get all of 'my' connections together. Just imagine the brainstorming we could do! I don't know about any of you, but I could sure use a dose of that.
