About The Artist Inspired by the world around us, and the music that society embraces. I have created works of art that depict what I see, what I hear, and how that all makes me feel. Each piece begins with one continuous pencil line. I then enhance and add detail to the initial pencil sketch. As a finishing touch, my earlier pieces were enhanced with colored pencil, or acrylic paint; my later pieces are scanned and painted electronically.
