I painted this horse head and sun on a wall in an art gallery that was being demolished. The Cedar Community Art Center in Lancaster, California provided space for artists to display their work with little to no restrictions.
I could paint whatever I desired so I painted a horse’s head using non traditional colors and only using my finger tips. I played with techniques and what I could do with my eyes close.
I took a photograph to preserve what once was an image but no longer available … sounds like my past.

Reflections

Everything we do in life is a reflection of ourselves.

If my photographs speak to you … what are you hearing?
What are they revealing about me?

If one photograph could tell someone your life story – what would it be a photograph of?

My story revolves around the clouds. The creation in formations of lines and shapes dazzled in hues and tints.
Travel is my therapy.
The desert is my home.
The road leads me into the unknown world with encouragement to explore and test my boundaries.
A camera allows me to capture moments that might be forgotten.
My own memory allows me to paint my story.

Words.
They are just symbols that lead to communication…

How I long for the road … there are no words to express such desire.
