About the shoes...
When I was a college student, I had a pair of purple hightops that I always wore to the studio when I painted. My son decided to buy me a pair for my birthday, so I could I could wear them to the studio every day to paint – and remember how fun it was creating pieces in my college days.
Beyond the studio...
Life does exist beyond the studio, although I love every moment I am in there. Painting, concepting, imagining...it's all a place of happiness for me.
However, travel is another part of happiness for me. Whether it's to an exotic location like Egypt or China, or to visit the art museum in Milwaukee – it's always a joy.
Creative moments...
I find myself reading, listening to music, taking a walk outside and discovering inspiration in seeing things differently. I like to consider myself a "mixed media poet." I can't always write down or say how I feel, but I can create a visual poem with a pen or pencil or paint.
