I thought it was over when I painted this. It was all playful colors and dancing gold rings. I didn't understand the clouds but, after all, I'm rarely in control when the brush is in my hand.

Now, on the other side of my personal chaos, I understand that the when "Citrus Maximus" was created I was merely in the eye of the storm.

This was the catalyst for my professional debut as an artist in the world of fine, abstract, and decorative art. Thus. it is titled 'LAUNCH'. I've discovered my calling!

Her love of reading and writing was inspired early in life by her sister Joyce. “As she read to me, it inspired me to read without pictures and create my own at the age of eight. To this day, I have never stopped reading, which transpired into my writing abilities. My imagination takes me far…sometimes into the minds of others.”
