“The Fates” Mixed Media
This “canvas” is really a bunch of old record albums pasted together giving it a really cool textured look.
“David’s Dance of the Frets” Mixed Media
This piece was inspired by The Legendary David Vanoverbeke. He is a musician and a poet. While watching him play I was entranced by the way his hands moved over the frets of his guitar. I likened the movements to break dancing. The dancers hold then evolve into another position but all the while being connected to the same rhythm.

My favorite part of music has always been bass. This is what bass would look like if turned human. This piece depicts one beat in a song. The orange aura represents a great passion and endurance for life and fun.
“Idea Takes Flight” Mixed Media
This piece is about the creation of an idea. The woman has music notes collecting all around her. They have come together to form the idea which is now jumping into reality.

This piece represents the heart chakra or Anahata. It is symbolized by a green flower with twelve petals. Each petal represents different aspects of the chakra when it is in balance.

“Lightly” Mixed Media in Resin
To me ravens represent mind, thought, and wisdom. The girl in the picture is being enlightened by the raven and is shedding her own skin in the process. “Lightly” is about the moment of becoming something more than yourself.
