I forgot how to play.

After working in the graphic design field, I found that I had become very serious about my art and had forgotten how to play. My designs were regulated to creating animal exhibit signs for the City of Dallas Zoo. While I enjoyed it, I knew that it was not my life purpose and I felt a calling to help people in a more positive and creative way. Then in 1998, I began having mystical experiences that I could not explain or understand. An angelic presence appeared several times to deliver a message to me. At first I dismissed the visions but eventually realized there validity.

The angel messenger guided me to create art that would remind people of their own inner greatness and angelic guidance. At the time, I had no idea what this meant. But I began to practice by creating art for my friends. At first I felt very stiff and wanted to recapture the freedom of expression that I knew as a child. I even blew bubbles, played jax, practiced meditation and other activities to reawaken my ability to imagine and play. To my surprise my senses and intuition also expanded and assisted me with my artwork. After several months I began to draw Soul Portraits, visionary art and commissions. My work continues to expand and change as I grow internally. It is fabulous to see many people connecting with the art and being inspired in their own lives.
