My enthusiasm for art revolves around my desire to spread joy through my painting. It’s wonderful when people feel as passionate about art as I do. I’m the happiest when I see a collector make a solid connection to one of my art pieces, and it finds its forever home, where it can pass on that same joy I received while creating it.
As an artist, and the owner of Arts a Daisy Gallery LLC in the East Downtown Cultural District of Houston, Texas, I specialize in large acrylic paintings. My eclectic taste in art is displayed in a wide range of artistic styles: abstract, figurative-abstract fusion, impressionism, realism, modern, and contemporary.
My inspiration as an abstract painter is never quenched. I see so much beauty in the world around me: the crack in a sidewalk, a sunset, color play in a picture, patterns in nature, or dreams. I capture photos of these things to save for later paintings. I often reference my collection of memories.
No one knows what the future holds, but I see myself strengthening my abilities, growing in creativity, and passing joy through my paintings on to others. I will continue to create until I am unable. I hope to keep providing inspiration to others through my art and that all of my art pieces find new places to hang where they can continue to provide happiness long after I’m gone.
