My love of art is a strong force, a passion, an addiction, … a journey that fuels my creativity, and compels me to create. 

When In My Studio, an adrenaline rush directs me forward. I draw, I paint, I sculpt, I layer … using all kinds of art tools and accessories … and Voila! my artworks come to life!
