Tiny Butterfly

Swallow

"Every Artist dips his brush in his own soul..."

~Henry Ward Beecher~


Born in Barre, VT. #5 of six children. I reside in CT now, but I visit those beautiful Green Mountains whenever I can. I hope to work someday as a Designer/Illustrator, so I'm working towards my degree in Fine Arts/Graphic Design. My Associates is just one class and and an internship away, but I enjoy learning so much that I may continue on to a Bachelors or a Masters degree. 

I enjoy drawing and photographing just about anything. I especially enjoy the challenges of nature and concert photography.

The most appealing thing about design, to me, is the magic of the creative process. Starting with the tiniest seed of an idea or concept, the artist nurtures and feeds it with imagination, hard work and bit of divine inspiration. It is exhilarating and satisfying to experience the transformation of that tiny idea as it grows and blooms as finished work of art.
