I have always had a fascination with color and patterns.  Even from my earliest years, I have allowed them to dance within the deep recesses of my mind while fascinated with the myriad options and their endless possibilities, I'm always awed by the power and majesty God has projected for us to discover.

I'm equally fascinated by the people of Louisiana and their stories.  My father was a great story teller and could hold your attention for hours with stories of his past.  Each time the story would become more elaborate.  "Make parts up if you have to," he'd say.  I must have inherited this "stretching the truth."

It's humbling to know a God that has allowed me to be such a unique individual-- left handed with two different colored eyes-- but even more humbling is that he has endowed me with creativity thus allowing me to catch a small glimpse of His awesome being.
I hope you will enjoy my work.  E-mail me with your comments. I'd love to hear from you.
