There are a variety of ways to be inspired. Those nature walks and shows, sure improved my vision. It is like a jungling act. One month on wood, three weeks on engraving jewelry, one week on Fabric for example; Buttom blankets, wall hangings, back to sqare one, drawing with Univeral energy.

A quote I heard when I was a kid. " When the student is ready the teacher will appear". I give homage to all teachers of Art and Life so I can continue Creating expression from the spirit world. Previous projects; Fabric Designs, Engraved Jewelry, Tool Making, Totem Poles, Masks, Plaques, Boxes, Benches, Bowls, Rattles, and Talking Sticks. The love of creating a maltimadia style of art is a never ending journey of learning.
