We are Created to Create.

We are mini-Creators made by Creator.

I have always Created and have always been inspired by the Creations around me.

The beauty I observe in the Insects, the Birds, the Animals, the Leaves, the Plants, the Trees, the Sky and the Water inspire me. 

The feeling I have to give back to the world in appreciation of its' beauty inspires me to Create.

The love I have for every living Creature no matter how small inspires me. 

Each Creature is perfect and serves a purpose, has a family, a routine, a home and a personality.

When my heart sees a vision of perfection my hands desire to Create it with loving care as to not disappoint the Creator who first so lovingly and perfectly Created it.

I desire to reflect the beauty around me especially for those who may not have noticed it before.

I only wish to exude the beauty which clearly already exists everywhere around us on Earth.

PORTFOLIO @ LEO9AMAZON

I use whatever I find to create art including regular household items, construction items, fingernail polish, cardboard, wood, cork, canvas, oil paints, acrylics, gessos, oil pastel, chalk pastel, ink, charcoal, pens, pencils, and glass.

I started drawing around 4 years old along with playing piano. I began journaling from about 5 years old on into adulthood. I often drew my loved ones, animals and plants I saw around me or in my imagination.

From middle school I was given the opportunity to draw from live figure models in various mediums. In high school I was trained to paint with oils. In college I was trained in graphic design but still prefer the fine arts.

I moved from realism to surrealism to abstract and now practice all three interchangeably. I also love interior decoration, fashion design and creating jewelry.
