Everything about me is young except for my intellect and spirit. I have enough dreams and ambitions for 20 more lifespans. I've had so many experiences and have weathered so many storms I consider myself the Emissary. It is from all of this that I draw my strength and courage as well as my hope, faith and positive outlook. It truly is your world...Make it what you want and make sure to want what you make of it! Growing and becoming can be painful (just like being born and physically growing is to a baby) but these pains are not for naught...it has a beauty and a purpose; to bring vitality. Perhaps the physical pain is indication of that surging power that could mold us just as easily as consume us. Changing and growing is painful and purposeful, embrace your challenge, hug it, make friends with it, walk with it a while. Before long it will pass as all things do, make sure to learn from it while you can, take from it it's value, honoring it by melding with it. You will carry it forward in memory, spirit and action long after it's over. It may show as a line on your face, a curl to your smile, or just a lovely countenance, it is the sculpted part of your being that becomes truly beautiful from the inside visible on the out. BE BLESSED!

================================================
Summary:
In a hereditary sense, my father (now deceased) was a Graphics Arts Illustrator and Designer of Trade Show Display Cases. He was formally trained in Art and was highly adept at most facets of self sufficiency. My mother (also now deceased) was very much like my father in many wonderful ways, she had the ability to sew together a new outfit for you or change gears and go point-tuck the chimney. They are and will always remain two of the most dynamically incredible individuals I have ever had the pleasure to know.What an influence!
At earliest recollection I remember having painted, decorated and/or put my touch on everything I came in contact with. Even if it was the tiniest of additions I would try to breathe life into the object in a positive appealing way.
I gained experience in decor & design during one of my first full time jobs (working in a Florist Shop) in my late teens. I was responsible for staging their display window as well as exercising my creativity in bouquet composition and gift giving solutions. This was in tandem with my other responsibilities there and I enjoyed it immensely.
Just about every position I have held since then has at one time or another utilized or required my abilities as a creative individual.
The feel of the finished piece or creation that I design must be harmonious with the look of the project and/or the intended use. The ability to problem solve as well as "create anew" is a dynamic approach I often utilize.
I enjoy creating and experimenting, I thrive on the tactile experience. I believe that my art, creativity, designs and ideals edify the creator (that's me) as well as the receiver(s).
My goal is to continually expand my knowledge and passion for what I do. To hone my skills and challenge my ideals. I endeavor to create, to express myself, to impart something tangible with (a message that speaks deeper than what is seen) on the other side of interpretation; it's all about how it is received.
Specialties:
I have an adeptness at integrating design, function & esthetics. I do this by taking into consideration multiple environmental facets, tolerances, intentions and purpose.
Finding the collaboration point between different materials, effects and approaches assuredly yields a unique, intriguing and invigorating depository to draw from; a very resourceful approach to accomplishing the task at hand.
Design and marketing; Alliances with business development and manufacturing professionals.
