Grew up with the best music all around me. Fortunate to have parents that loved music, some deep, rare finds. Always been a writer, everything from romance, ancestry and historical research to children's stories. Started painting by fluke in 2012. 

Like to escape into painting, writing and mining music for samples. Express using oils on canvas and creating 2D traditional cut and paste paper collages. Like to zone out to deep, rare and underground music, the non-accessible stuff, you rarely hear.

Habitual diversion of the mind to purely imaginative activity or entertainment as an escape from reality and routine. All that and a glass of Chardonnay. Seems like I've dreamed the images and lived the stories my entire life. Now I express them through my work.
