I have lived my life with a generous amount of spontaneity, and I keep that rhythm at the forefront of my work. I am most inspired by my immediate surroundings- the eclectic musical community in Asheville, and by traveling the world, experiencing the music and art of different cultures.
Throughout my paintings, I use the contrasting duo of indigo watercolor and 24 karat gold to feature the improvisation within the jazz genre, and the way the music comes from deep within the soul of the musician.
