Of All Possibilities… Devotion (to Art)

May 19, 2026

Throughout my career, designing for manufacturers, department and retail stores, museum and gift shops, I was giving form to their vision but rarely meeting the people that lived with my designs. When I did, it was a wonderful moment of connection, sharing how my designs came to be and how my work fit into their lives.

The demands and detours of my life and work pulled me in many directions, always racing to catch up to the next. The pandemic and subsequent lockdown were an unexpected threshold, a time of shifting, of becoming myself again. I took the long road back to my roots, my influences and the many skills of my formal art studies that had been locked away in my someday vault.

Studio art allows me to use materials in traditional and new ways, moving between substrates, mediums or expression without constraints of color, size, purpose or time. Commercial art sets all of the rules before a single stroke is made. Fine art takes its time, takes you on a journey, takes you to yourself.

Working directly and independently with my clients allows me to have that meaningful connection. The vision and emotion that unfolds in the process of creating becomes the vocabulary of a silent conversation between art, artist and viewer. Our stories do not need to be spoken to be heard. This is what I share with you.
