I was raised in beautiful rural Chester County, Pennsylvania.
At an early age of six I got bitten by a bug- the Art-Bug. Art gets into your being; why it’s there you never understand or what path in life you will travel. My memories of the area were poetic; filled with freedom, beautiful rolling hills, lavish green landscapes, a visual playground filled with light, space and the best was the evening with fire flies. Often, I biked but traveled much by vehicle; the urban way of life, I reminisced inside the car with the light illuminating interior and exterior space, giving eyes the invitation to explore the content and the context of the passing forms. Light is not a part of our life; it is the core magic of our life, at the center of our universe; life's energy. Light has a language of its own, it speaks in many tones and volumes with endless musical notes. Its reflection and refraction properties create a uniquely mysterious conversation. Light has secrets to share only for us to discover with so many endless moments; like the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis),or Moonbows (Kentucky or Zimbabwe) are just a few of natures many environmental light shows creating a visual wonderment. Light as a material has illuminated my creative search, I continue to be captivated by the mysterious dialogue between light and form. Light is ephemeral, as it dances and changes composing space, defines, reflects, refracts, bends, and teases the volume and mass of forms. Light has created a symbiotic relationship with me in my exploration capturing my childhood creative adventure and developing an exciting lifelong journey.
