I

It is absolutely true that we are all a sum of our experiences. As I look at the events in my life, I can see that so clearly. From my high school art instructor who gave me direction, to the four years at the University of Massachusetts, to the clients that followed. All these interactions have contributed to who I am as an artist.
Then of course there are the people in my life that inspire and support me. They have often seen more in me than I have seen in myself. They are my three wonderful children who truly define who I am, my family who are paramount in their support and of course my friends. Their belief and inspiration seem to be endless.
I could not have done this alone and it will take a lifetime to express my thanks.
