Artist Statement I’m an author and writer of nonfiction music reference, young adult science fiction, and children’s books, but writing is not my only passion. My love of the arts extends to painting, sculpture, and music, as well.
My formal art studies began in college, where I pursued a degree in Interior Design. I took additional classes in the fine arts, and I complimented my assignments with watercolor paintings of the interiors I designed for my clients. When I could not find the perfect piece of artwork for them, I created a new one to fill the spaces I envisioned. Now I spend equal time painting, writing, and playing music, and I like to think that each of the art forms I love benefits from the others.
